After you
submit information via this Web site you will be contacted by a Talking Leaves
representative, who will find out more information about your staffing needs. Your information will be
referred to a Career Advisor assigned to your area who will determine the best candidate(s) who may be available to meet your needs. The
Career Advisor will contact
you to discuss candidates and provide you with the resumes of those
students whose skills match your needs.
Talking Leaves can also bring
students to your work site interviews at no cost. If you decide to hire a
graduate, the TLJC Career Transition Service team provides the graduate with support services including
assisting with relocation efforts, securing appropriate transportation, and if
necessary, childcare. Once you hire a graduate, a team member will continue to be
there to answer any questions you might have.
Work-Based Learning
provides a "temp-to-perm" or intern arrangement so you can see how the employee
works out before you hire him or her.
Take advantage of Talking
Leaves'
customized training to tailor students' skills to your workforce needs. You may
be interested in becoming a member of a Center Industry Council (CIC) which
enables you to interact closely with Talking Leaves and you can have a direct impact
on the vocational training.
Job Corps is a year-round
program with two week breaks in July and December. Students may enroll at any
time during the year. Training programs are taught as open-entry, open-exit to
accommodate the open enrollment. Therefore, graduates complete training
throughout the year based on skill attainment rather than on a typical academic
calendar.
