When I sent this out earlier it seems there was not a link to the webinar. It looks to me like there is now a link to it if you create an account.<br><br>

<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><strong><span style="FONT-SIZE: 7.5pt">Description:</span></strong><span style="FONT-SIZE: 7.5pt"><br>Libraries welcome many job seekers and bring a lot of assets as potential partners for the workforce system, from their ability to refer patrons to One-Stop Career Centers for training and other services to offering computer literacy classes or spaces for recruiting events. According to a recent study sponsored by IMLS and the Gates Foundation, of the 30 million public library computer users who had an employment-related purpose, 75 percent searched for a job online, and half of those filled out an online application or submitted a résumé. Recognizing the value of collaboration, many state and local workforce leaders across the country have formed partnerships with libraries. Joint activities include training library staff in the resources available through the workforce system, holding workshops on career exploration, job search and other topics for library patrons, and sharing information and data. To support and encourage such efforts, ETA and IMLS began a Federal partnership last year. </span></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 7.5pt">One important aspect of our Federal effort is publicizing state and local partnerships. We are pleased to welcome representatives of two such partnerships, one state and one local, to this Webinar. Illinois presenters will discuss their state’s use of the Illinois workNet™ Web site to highlight local workforce-library partnerships and library capabilities, as well as ways in which the state encourages and supports local collaborative initiatives. Presenters from Jefferson County, Colorado, will discuss their distinctive approach to reaching customers—an “eTrain Mobile Training Lab,” located in a renovated van that circulates around the county with print and electronic resources, as well as a knowledgeable staff member. </span></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 7.5pt">We are excited to welcome to this Webinar all those who are interested in the potential of workforce-library partnerships. </span></p>
