Getting Your Job Search Started (Short Course)

This 20-hr short course teaches job seekers to make the most of their local labor market, and to be ready to accept a job offer.

What to expect:

Getting Your Job Search Started is the perfect course for trainers and job coaches who help active job seekers develop their skills and kick off their job search. While looking for work is fun for some, finding a new job can be a daunting, frustrating task for others.

Participants will develop these essential skills:

  • Developing an understanding of the types of work available and where to find more information.
  • Recognizing the benefits available through career coaches, counselors, and mentors, and how to seek them out.
  • Learning different approaches to job searching, such as networking and tapping into the job market.

You will be able to obtain a “certificate of completion” with your name and completion date on it.

Note: these short courses are self-guided online courses and are not to be confused with our tutor-supported online courses.
