The U.S. Department of Labor has announced the launch of the Business Center, a new tool available on the department’s CareerOneStop web site designed to give businesses access to the resources they need to recruit, train, and retain a skilled workforce.
The Business Center pulls together a variety of resources from the CareerOneStop web site — from hiring and interviewing skills to locating American Job Centers, to tips about where and how to recruit qualified candidates.
We would like to invite your members to participate in a special webinar for the minority chambers of commerce on Wednesday, March 27th from 2-3 PM EST. On the webinar we will discuss some of the key features such as:
- Easy-to-download reports about employment projections and concentrations, wages, and unemployment rates for specific areas
- Access to local training and educational institutions
- Listings of top industries by employment, broken out by state, metro area and county
- A tool for finding military occupations related to specific civilian occupations
- Certifications for a particular positions
- Assistance in writing job descriptions
If you are interested in participating, please let us know by Wednesday, March 13th. We will be sending out a formal invite for you to distribute to your members the week of March 18th.
