What is the Employment Readiness Program?
The Employment Readiness Program (ERP) is a program that offers up-to-date resource information on available employment opportunities, market and job trends, education, and volunteer resources to help individuals make informed decisions when seeking employment. Services offered by the ERP include classes and seminars related to employment (i.e., career exploration, resume writing, interviewing techniques, dressing for success, networking, and entrepreneurship), and individual career assessment and counseling.
What job assistance does Employment Readiness provide?
Employment Readiness Program Managers will provide job search training, but it is not a job placement service. A professional Job Search Trainer will help you identify your skills and assist you in every step of the way during your job search. You will also have access to valuable references on the national job market and be offered seminars and workshops related to employment.
What job information is available?
You'll have access to an unlimited number of automated databases on the internet that list employers and employment opportunities. You'll also have access to actual vacancy announcements and employment information from government, civic and military agencies.
How do I start?
There are 83 ACS Centers worldwide. Call or walk into the ACS Office nearest you and tell the receptionist that you'd like to make an appointment to begin the job search process. From there you will have a menu of services and workshops offered.
