The goal of work force readiness efforts is to empower people
to get into the right jobs. We want the customer/client/student
to take as much responsibility for understanding the process as
possible, offering assistance where needed.
Self Counseling
Information disseminated in the self-service mode needs to be
designed with that specific purpose in mind. Resources provided
