On Tuesday, June 29 at 2 pm, they’ll be offering a virtual program about exploring new career opportunities. Centered around the information and tools of www.NCcareers.org, the session will offer real-life tips and practical suggestions. To participate, register at tinyurl.com/catawbajobs.

NCcareers.org positions itself as North Carolina’s central online resource for students, parents, educators, job seekers, and career counselors looking for high-quality job and career information. Within the website, users can identify their skills and interests; explore occupations and local job/employer needs; identify education and training opportunities; and prepare to enter/re-enter the job market. The system provides clear, consistent information about North Carolina’s current and future job needs and education/training offerings to everyone, starting with students in middle school and continuing through adulthood. The site is partially funded by a grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration.
