Why am I here and what happens next?
We can serve you best when you know more about the many free services available through the Pikes Peak Workforce Center.

Step 1: Complete this presentation of Orientation to the Pikes Peak Workforce Center.

Step 2: Following the Orientation, you will be able to "register" with PPWFC, over the Internet!

Step 3: Please register carefully - list all of the skills and work experience you have that relate to the types of jobs you are seeking. Some job matching is done by computer. The computer system matches what the business’s requirements (the education and experience for a job) to the information that you, the job seeker, list in the "skills" section of the registration. An automated voice response system may phone you about a job opening.

Step 4: Once registered, you may view and apply for the job postings located in America's Job Bank, the Colorado Job Bank, and SpringsJobs.com - all available from the Job Seeker page of our web site.

Step 5: If your job skills and experience meet ALL of the minimum qualifications listed in a job description, a Workforce Technician will provide you with referral to the position and explain how to apply for it. You may receive job information by phoning 719-667-3700.

By registering with the Pikes Peak Workforce Center, you become eligible for our job matching program. Here's how it works. Once you register, the kind of job you want is entered into our computer. When a new job opening comes in, someone on our staff does a search to find out who in our computer database is qualified to fill that position. If YOU qualify for the job, you may receive a recorded message by phone. If you receive a recorded message from PPWFC, contact us as the recorded instructions indicate. If you’re registered, WE CONTACT YOU about jobs you’re qualified to fill.

Step 6: You may use the Internet to continue your job search activities. Many employment links are available from the PPWFC web page, click on Job Seekers to access America's Job Bank (the largest in the nation), SpringsJobs.com, and many others.

Step 7: You may enroll in workshops that will help you upgrade your employability skills. Workshops can help you learn:

• How to write a résumé that gets noticed
• How to complete an application that gets you an interview
• How to make a great impression at your interview \
• How to use a computer
• How to avoid awkward situations in the workplace!

Business people volunteer their time to present these workshops. Learn from the people who know!

Step 8: Visit the Resource Room, a special area inside the Pikes Peak Workforce Center where you will find a variety of tools and information to help you research careers and occupations, conduct Internet-based job search, update your résumés, sign-up for workshops or networking groups, and learn about upcoming events and other activities.

Anyone who is registered with PPWFC may use the Resource Room. Services are free of charge and activities are self-service. Basic computer and Internet skills are needed to conduct job searches on the Internet.

The Resource Room is staffed with professional Workforce Technicians who provide valuable guidance on where to find information that can make a positive difference in your job search and career exploration. They also offer information about workshops and hiring events and will show you the most helpful software programs and websites for your job search.

Remember that the Workforce Technicians in the Resource Room can provide information on how to apply for job openings listed with PPWFC ONLY if you meet the job qualifications. This means that you must meet the education and experience requirements specified by the business.
