Job Training, Employment Skills, and Digital Literacy Education
Job training, employment skills, and literacy are essential for anyone searching for work in a competitive job market like the Fredericksburg region.
Having basic skills – reading, computer literacy, keyboarding, resume and cover letter design, internet job search – is critical when searching for a good job. A professional looking resume and cover letter can make a big difference in getting that all important interview.
These basic skills, along with job search tools and access to the job market, are easy to take for granted if you already have them. If you don’t, your ability to compete in today’s job market is limited. That’s where Goodwill comes in. Our Job Help Services provide access to job search tools and free assistance and training on all of these skills. Our trained employment specialists work one on one with individuals to help them master needed skills and find a job. Goodwill’s on-the-job training programs are also very beneficial.
Goodwill uses advanced assessment tools to determine job skills and placement potential. These tools include:
NorthStar Digital Literacy – Northstar helps test your computer skills. You can build skills in key areas, and demonstrate your knowledge by earning certificates and badges.
Career Scope – a self-administered system that measures both aptitude and interest for job placement or potential.
MajorClarity – an online assessment guide which helps individuals discover their future careers—and the paths to make them a reality.
These services are provide free by Rappahannock Goodwill.
