Service Delivery

We kick off 2020 with a focus on service delivery. There are multiple ways you can help customers access our services, ranging from one-on-one services with a caseworker at an American Job Center (AJC), to group services as part of a workshop, to virtual services accessed from home on a personal computer or handheld device. Whatever the customer chooses, our goal should be to provide them with the best possible service that meets their needs. As an added feature this year, we will be spotlighting the Future of Work as part of these themes: forces affecting work, the workforce, and the workplace. Check out this resource page that highlights the wide variety of ways to access publicly-funded workforce services and the impact the Future of Work will have on service delivery. Throughout the month, additional resources will be added to the GPS homepage, so please check back often!

National Mentoring Month

This month we are highlighting National Mentoring Month, which is a campaign held each January to promote youth mentoring in the United States. It was inaugurated in 2002, and is spearheaded by the Harvard School of Public Health, MENTOR, and the Corporation for National and Community Service. The publicly-funded workforce system has a long history in providing mentoring services to youth. To learn more about some of these programs, check out Youth CareerConnect Community, YouthBuild Community, and a Youth Apprenticeship resource page that is posted on the Apprenticeship Community.
