The State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce that the State Library Board recently approved a $75,000 IMLS LSTA grant to expand the LearningExpress Library service to include a new Job & Career Accelerator section starting January 2010. The LearningExpress Job & Career Accelerator provides personalized, step-by-step job search assistance for all levels of job seekers.

Job seekers can explore suitable occupations from over 1,000 detailed occupation profiles and find available jobs in their area from a database of over 5 million up-to-date job postings. With Job & Career Accelerator, users can easily create professional targeted resumes, master interviewing techniques, improve work related skills and prepare for occupation-related exams. In addition, it helps job seekers plan, tailor and track multiple job searches at the same time, while providing expert advice and tips each step of the way.

A Job & Career Accelerator Welcome Kit is now available on WebJunction Ohio. It is located within the Helping Job Seekers section. The welcome kit contains details on how to link from an individual library Web site if desired, marketing suggestions, etc. There is also a Job & Career Accelerator logo included for downloading.
