JTBC Job Search

Upcoming Events

Preparing the necessary job search tools including a resume, cover letter, and reference list can be difficult. In addition to these tools, a successful job search requires the ability to create a job search strategy, develop job leads through networking, and communicate your qualifications to an employer during an interview.

JTBC provides instruction in each of these areas through workshops offered at no cost to job seekers at PA CareerLink(r) Beaver County.  These workshops are a gateway into the more intensive one-on-one services that may be available for eligible job seekers through our successful Job Search Assistance Program.
