Press releases from Geographic Solutions and news about our clients' sites
The California Community College Chancellor’s Office, in partnership with the State of California’s Employment Development Department (EDD) and Geographic Solutions, officially launched the new California Career Cafe site on March 11th. California’s Career Café connects 112 college campuses to job opportunities. The site, a first of its kind, will help current students and recent alumni, find internships and jobs in California. Employers can post internship opportunities and job openings directly into the system, or contact the college career centers for assistance.
“The California Community Colleges are very excited to launch Find A Job on the CACareerCafe.com website,” said Susan Coleman, CACareerCafé’s Grant Director. “The site connects community college students, alumni, and faculty to the largest workforce exchange system in order to find jobs, research labor market information, create resumes, and research career options.”
The site, launched alongside EDD’s new statewide CalJOBS site, provides universal access to online services for students and alumni seeking jobs and employers seeking interns and graduates.Since the California Career Café is lined to the new CalJOBS system, colleges to track an individual’s progress/job search history from a student through graduation and well into their professional careers. Once information is captured, it stores all data so that an individual does not need to reenter their information into the new CalJOBS site after graduation.
The site provides users with a wide array of employment-related services at no charge to the jobseekers and employers and is available in Spanish-speaking and visually-impaired interfaces. Jobseekers can utilize employment tools to create cover letters, build or import resumes, receive a list of available jobs via email or text notifications, and apply for jobs directly to the employer online. Job searches can be conducted by zip code, city, county, metropolitan or workforce area, or on a statewide basis. Jobseekers will be able to search for training opportunities, job fairs, and special opportunities for veterans and the disabled within the system. Employers will have access to a huge database of qualified recent graduates and be able to review an individuals’ resume and references. Additionally, employers can rank the candidates using the automated Virtual Recruiter system.
