Training
To ensure that workers are properly prepared for current and future jobs in the County, our education and training efforts are designed to move workers into high demand industries and occupations in the county. Delaware County has long had a model career assessment and counseling process. We begin helping job seekers assess their interests, values, skills and potential barriers to employment in Core Services to aid them in finding the work and training opportunities where they will be most successful.
Individual appointments for career guidance, vocational assessment, employment planning, resume review and mock interviews are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Our staff are experienced, qualified individuals who are highly invested in providing guidance to participants who are navigating career pathways and the job market. WorkKeys®, a job skills assessment system, is available to participants upon request. It measures "real world" workplace skills that employers believe are critical to success on the job. Scores may lead to earning a National Career Readiness Certificate. Participation in WorkKeys® is supported via information sessions, staff guidance and access to the KeyTrain® online learning system. This allows participants to pre-qualify and build skills before taking WorkKeys®. WorkKeys® has been developed by ACT™, an international leader in educational assessment.
