On June 24, 2010, Capital Area Development Workforce Board Executive Director, Pat Sturdivant, State Personnel Director, Linda Coleman, and Pastor J. Jasper Wilkins, Jr., Sr. Pastor, Wake Chapel Church, participated in a ribbon cutting ceremony for the grand opening of the Life Enrichment Center’s JobLink Access Point. 

Access Points offer JobLink core and referral services to people needing assistance with their job search.  It is a partnership formed to provide these services through resources in the community. Realizing a need for these services, the LEC and the CAWDB stepped forward and accepted the challenge to make it happen.

Services provided at the JobLink Access Point are:

Assessment services: An initial assessment of customer needs and desired services from the JobLink Center is determined during an orientation to the Center. Customers can request basic assessments of career/vocational interests, skills and assistance in setting employment goals and  can access a variety of self-assessment tools on-line.

Fax and copy services: are available for cover letters, resumes, and job applications to potential employees in response to electronic and hard copy job leads. Limited use of both the fax machine and copier is free to JobLink customers for job search related activities.

Job search assistance: to assist customers with organizing their job search, preparing resumes and cover letters, identifying appropriate job leads, completing applications, and preparing for interviews as requested and/or needed.

Onsite classes and workshops: The JobLink Center sponsors, individually or jointly, many job seeking skills classes and workshops on-site. Examples of some of these are GED classes, Customer Service Training, Interpersonal Skills Training, Resume Writing, and Interviewing Techniques.

Self help resources: JobLink customers may include computers with Internet access, WinWay Resume software, a typing tutorial, Microsoft Office tutorials, and a North Carolina Careers exploration system. The computers also offer a variety of tools for job/training seekers. Resource libraries of books, catalogs, periodicals, journals, newspapers, and brochures are available for use in the Center.
