Overview of Workforce Services available for YOU

• Candidate Search:  Let the CareerLink do the work for you in filling your job openings! 
  Hundreds of qualified unemployed individuals are right here in Bucks County and are working with us, registered on the website www.pacareerlink.state.pa.us.  We’ll take your job openings and find the right candidate to match your hiring qualifications.
   
• Training Reimbursements: If we can’t find someone who has exactly the skill set you need for your opening, we can work with you on an On-the-Job Training (OJT). 
  
  OJT is a wage reimbursement program, offering you up to 50% of the new hires wages during the training period. 
  
  So, you take someone who has some of the skills you need, you train them for the specifics/all of what the job requires.  Individual training plans are designed between you and the CareerLink staff. 
  
  The OJT concludes when one of the following happens first:  the individual becomes proficient at his job, the maximum time frame of six months is met, or the maximum wage reimbursement per new hire of $8,500 is met.  Please note:  Your worksite (where you will be training your new hire on-the-job) will need to be in compliance with ADA regulations.  Any concerns?  We can help you work through them.

• Tax credits: Did you know there are numerous tax credits for hiring specific targeted populations… like Veterans?  We do.  And we can get you the information you need to apply for them.
   
• Targeted Job Fairs:  We host regular targeted job fairs on site at our CareerLink in Bristol, 1260 Veterans Highway, so that you can recruit alongside your industry colleagues and we can refer talent with experience in your field.
   
• Interviewing Rooms:  Schedule interviews or come on down and interview the job seekers who are on-site that day.
   
• Assessment Services:  We screen job applicants for the three skill areas needed in every job – Math, Reading, and Locating Information.  We also screen specifically for the job opening you have in Talent, Fit, and Performance.  The primary assessment tool we use is WorkKeys® Job Skills Assessment, a national and industry-standardized test.
