Tools for America’s Job Seekers Challenge

Posted on November 30, 2009 at 02:53PM

In an effort to get more online job search and career advancement tools into the hands of job seekers, ETA is hosting the Tools for America’s Job Seekers Challenge.  The Challenge will inventory online job search and career advancement tools in December, and allow workforce system professionals and jobseekers to explore, comment on, and recommend those tools in January.   DOL and ETA will publish the top tools in each category, allowing workforce system decision-makers to easily access the recommendations of their peers and customers, and use this feedback to make more informed decisions.  The Challenge is currently encouraging entrepreneurs and organizations to help develop an inventory of on-line job search and career advancement tools by submitting information about their tools at www.DOLChallenge.Ideascale.com. 

The Employment and Training Administration has also issued Training and Employment Notice 16-09 which extends an invitation to the workforce development system to participate in the Tools for America’s Job Seekers Challenge.
