The WorkNet Model Handbook
The WorkNet Model of Career Development & Job Placement for People with Barriers is dual-focused. As a model of Career Development, the focus is not merely job placement and retention, but economic self-sufficiency and career success. Usually, this means career advancement, because self-sufficiency is achieved by the second, third or fourth job. As a model of Job Placement, extensive focus and support is given to candidates as they identify and market themselves to employers who offer their career path. The result is an employee with a better attitude who learns quicker and works harder, making them more valuable to the employer and more able to reach self-sufficiency and career success. If you plan to use the WorkNet Model, or simply incorporate some of our approaches, this handbook will guide you.

WorkNet’s 3 Option Rule - A brief curriculum
Do your candidates make bad decisions?... keep doing what they’ve always done?... refuse to make decisions at all? Do you end up feeling responsible or being the “bad guy” when things go wrong? Seeing options, making good decisions and taking personal responsibility is a learned skill. It’s a skill that employers expect, but many candidates lack. Whether they’ve become entrenched due to a long-standing career in a single company or industry, learned how to solve problems on the street or in prison, or are just entering/re-entering the workforce, this practical and respectful approach will revolutionize your interaction, speed the process and make your candidates more employable and retainable.
