What is Job Placement Services All About?
Arizona OIC’s main objective is to assist you with identifying,
obtaining, and maintaining employment. You will meet with a qualified employment
specialist who can assist you with your specific job seeking needs. Our staff are
available to provide you with any or all of the following, based on your needs and
desires:
Job Seeking Skills
Once you have an employment focus, participating in job seeking skills
training can be very beneficial to you if you have been out of work for a long period of
time or just need a refresher on the process of searching for a job.
Job seeking skills training can involve:
Preparing a resume
Learning and/or practicing interviewing skills
Problem solving strategies/options for handling your specific disability issues
Job Development
If you are referred for job development services, you will meet
regularly with an Arizona OIC employment specialist who will assist you with your job
search. Job development can include assisting you with following up on leads in the
newspaper, completing job applications, registering with the state job service, and
going on interviews. Arizona OIC staff will assist you with completing a job placement
plan designed to meet your specific needs.
Situational Assessments
Many times people have several areas of interest for employment. If
this is your case, and you are not sure which direction to move in, Arizona OIC can
provide opportunities for you to explore different options by participating in
situational assessments. This involves spending time and actually working at one or more
job sites and getting a taste of the job, to see if you are indeed interested. This can
be a great way to explore a career path that you are considering, but may not have yet
experienced.
The Job Development Center maintains an active job bank that is
available to all Arizona OIC graduates.
In addition, the WIA/PWIN Resource Center has two Internet computer
terminals for on-line job searches.
Once you are employed, an Arizona OIC staff person will assist you
with strategies for maintaining employment, if needed.
We look forward to working with you!
