Dislocated Worker Program

“I was having problems…dead end job, after dead end job.  I found myself unemployed and at CareerForce and had noticed Career Solutions – Dislocated Worker Program.  I met with a career planner and completed career assessments to see what kind of work I would be suited for.  My career planner reviewed my assessment results with me and showed me labor market projections of job openings in each field.  I then selected the trucking field.  My career planner helped me get into a truck driving training program right away.  In six weeks, I had my CDL Class A driver’s license!  I was then able to land a job in the industry, nearly tripling my previous income.  I can’t say enough about how great the Dislocated Worker Program is!  I probably couldn’t have done it with them!”

“At Career Solutions, I received training in resume writing, job searching, and interviewing.  I was also given fuel vouchers to help my family stay moving forward, as well as referrals to other help services to aid us during my unemployment.  I gained a lot of skills and experience that helped me navigate the re-employment process with confidence. At the beginning I needed a lot of help and reassuring.  My career planner’s quiet confidence that things would work out really helped me.  He’s great at what he does, and I am so thankful I got matched up with him. I am employed again at a position that I enjoy very much that pays almost 90% of what my previous job paid.  Absolutely, without hesitation I would recommend the Dislocated Worker Program to other workers who have lost their jobs.”
