|
JobCentral National Labor Exchange
has been selected by The National Association of State Workforce
Agencies (NASWA) to provide job seekers, employers and states a
cost-effective transition from America’s Job Bank (AJB) when it is
discontinued June 30, 2007, as previously announced by the U.S.
Department of Labor. JobCentral will provide a wide range of employment
services to participating state workforce agencies, from job listing
distribution to and from state employment Web sites to participation in
the national labor exchange with other states. The service will also be
available to federal agencies for fast response to recruiting needs,
after disasters, such as hurricanes or earthquakes. JobCentral will
allow job seekers to search over five million (5,000,000) jobs from
corporate web sites, newspapers, trade associations, and other Internet
sources in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, U. S.
territories, major metropolitan areas, and all U.S. cities and postal
zip code areas. It will be available free-of-charge to job seekers. Job
postings, resume searching capabilities and other services will be
available to all employers in all industries. The service will be free
to employers through participating state workforce agencies. William O.
Warren, executive director of DirectEmployers Association, the
non-profit consortium of over 250 leading U.S. employers which owns and
manages the JobCentral site, said: “JobCentral will play a prominent
role in helping employers build their workforce and comply with state
and federal regulations by serving as our nation’s only online
cross-state labor exchange and distributing job listings to the state
and local level.”
