The Link (not the missing but the found)

 I have been touting the benefits of using the PA CareerLink® as a one-stop local resource for job searching and advancing careers. Beyond the fact we have a killer website, we are your local resource, with offices usually within 20 minutes or so, where you can stop in (depending on your needs) without an appointment and use one of our many available computers to look for work, write a resume and cover letter, file for your unemployment, get hands-on training on computers, software, internet. Each office has a full-time staff ready and willing to help you with any of these needs.

BUT WAIT - THERE'S MORE!

Did you know CareerLink® is also MOBILE? Yes-sir-ee Bob, we have a mobile CareerLink® traveling office named (obviously) THE LINK. It travels far and wide throughout our area to bring all the services from Careerlink® to you. Well, not your house, but usually at your local library (so close enough for no-never-mind).

The Link is a mobile career center that provides services to each county in the Central PA workforce development area (WDA). It is equipped with seven computers, internet access, printing, and a presentation screen, and professional staff provides support for job matching and career guidance.

To see the monthly schedule, go to the NEWS page for my Google website and scroll through the list of events for the monthly flyer.

Better yet, check out the FACEBOOK page about it.

Just another extremely groovular way CareerLink® is the best toolbox you have to rock your job searches and career improvement activities.

 A chicken in every pot and Internet in every house. If I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times: The internet has now become a mandatory utility needed for business and civic engagement in today's society.  Unfortunately, the status of internet importance has surpassed the availability of fast, reliable, and affordable internet for everybody.  For many, they need it but they can't get it. In other words, we have put the cart before the horse. This discrepancy is what we down on the ol' techno farm call 'the digital divide'.  There is some hopeful news on the horizon to deal with this. Pennsylvania has received over $1,000,000,000, (yes - that's  BILLION) dollars to close the 'digital divide'. Overseeing this massive plan is the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority. Here is the short version of what they are all about: Goals and Objectives : Universal Access : Ensure all residents have access to high-speed internet that meets or excee...

Great moments in Internet security - who knew?

  In my last post, I mentioned distributing flyers about all the great stuff we offer at your local CareerLink®. My goal was to get the word out that we are MORE than just a place you have to go when you are unemployed. Needless to say, we are a GREAT place to go if you are unemployed, but...   That's not all we do, as demonstrated by the large variety of workshops we offer. I have found, within the last year or so, that there is an extreme interest in learning some more of the basics of everyday technology, such as basic computer skills, and basic internet skills. So I am also starting a fun and freaky series of internet security tips that promote technology training services for those who feel left behind by the exponentially expanding reliance on using computers and the internet.  So take a look at one of them. Stay tuned, more historical characters will e tossing in their two cents worth of cyber security wisdom soon. Who knew these concepts are over a hundred ye...

Just when I thought the 'February blah's' had started to take their toll, a glorious gift was bestowed upon me - 12 spankin' new Dell computers for my classroom! Yessiree bob - the old tower computers have been retired, along with their 'retro' Windows 8 and MS Office 2016 software. (good by old friends, you have served us well). In their place are tiny little Dell OptiPlex computers, sporting Windows 10 (not ready to test Windows 11 yet) and the newest MS Office apps. Obviously, we are wired up to fast ethernet connection to cruise the light fantastic on the internet. Now you may say "ok Scott, that is groovy and all. But why should I be doing a jig about this?" Well, my amigo's, although I would never dis my own virtual presentations, sometimes you need hand-on instruction to learn certain technical skills. Try learning to play a guitar by watching videos and not HAVING a guitar. Get it? If you need some basic computer or internet skills, want to...
