This Second edition of
Job Development Essentials provides practical advice for workforce
development professionals—the same advice found in the first edition, but
with a stronger emphasis on engaging employers, providing expanded services
to the business community and involving businesspeople as resources and
advocates for an organization.
This new edition still includes strategies, solutions and sample responses
to the knottiest problems job developers face, along with quick
self-assessments for all elements of the profession. As one of the few
available resources for job developers, Essentials can be especially useful
to those working for publicly funded organizations striving to successfully
serve both job seekers and employers. It can also help organizations and
frontline workers meet performance measures related not only to placement
but also to retention and customer satisfaction.

Job Development Essentials was developed
primarily through interviews with experienced job developers from a
cross-section of organizations – large and small; urban and rural;
government and non-government; not-for-profit and private. These experts
generously contributed their knowledge, perspective, and personal tips on
what job developers do and how they do it successfully.
"Job Development Essentials is just that and more—it is an on-target,
practical, comprehensive and highly readable guide that should be at the
right hand of every job developer and manager of workforce development
programs."
