Job Development Department
The Center for Economic and Workforce Development (CEWD) Job Development Staff is responsible for providing career advisement to students and connecting them to employment. The CEWD Job Developer’s role includes providing career assessments so that students can develop educational and career plans based on their interests, academic levels and employment history. During the career assessment, the use of applications, such as O*net and NJCAN, help students complete a career survey. Recently, we incorporated NJ Career Connections into our curriculum and individual counseling sessions.
Employer Partnerships
Employer partnerships are key to the success of our Job Developers who continually reach out to local employers to identify open positions for CEWD students in our Occupational and Basic Adult Education Training programs where they earn industry-recognized credentials in a number of professions.
