JobScout Trifold
JobScout is a free online social platform designed to get Californians back to work by teaching them the digital literacy skills needed to find a job using online resources. For the 1 in 5 Californians lacking digital literacy skills, JobScout uses social gaming methodology to create a friendly and engaging entry point to the Internet. JobScout users are able to engage in self led activities so they can learn at their own pace. Even though JobScout is a self-led platform, our users are never alone on the TRAIL. Users are provided top-quality customer support made possible by a community of stakeholders. JobScout is supported by a partnership between the California State Library, the LINK AMERICAS Foundation and REALPOLITECH. Through this partnership, JobScout has been provided the financial, technical, educational and community resources needed to bridge the digital divide for California’s job seekers. Together, we make up the current team of Scout Masters.
This cooperative effort between the public and private sector is actively recruiting scouts, and showing them the essential skills they need to survive in the wilderness of the current market. We are looking for more California leaders to become Scout Masters.
Whether you are a private foundation that wants to support projects helping California’s jobseekers, a private corporation looking for workforce training solutions, an education expert or an organization that provides career services to job seekers who can benefit from JobScout’s features, we encourage you to take one of the following pledges:
