What is the Employment
Readiness Program [ERP]?
The
Fort Jackson Employment Readiness Program provides information and referral
services in the areas of employment, education, training, transition, and
volunteer opportunities to give family members the competitive edge needed to
secure employment.
The Employment Readiness offers a wide range of
services to include resume development, local job market research, home business
opportunities, on-and-off job listings, career counseling, internet access, and
a resource library. The Employment Readiness also offers a variety of
workshops and individual training sessions.
The Employment Readiness
Program office operates as "your office" while you are developing your job
search campaign. We want you to feel welcome, make yourself "at home", and use
the facilities at Army Community Service. The Fort Jackson Employment
Readiness office is located on the first floor in the Strom Thurmond
Building. Computers, typewriters, fax machine and employment resource
books are available for clients' use in preparing a resume, cover letter, and
on-line job search. Employment Readiness office keeps up to date job
announcements in Job Bank Books.
