WorkSource Montgomery highlights 6,000+ training options and job-exchange tools for county jobseekers
Summary
WorkSource representatives at a Montgomery County virtual seminar described online training catalogs, a job-exchange platform with roughly 1,000 listings, resume services, and a county career center for displaced federal workers.
Montgomery County — WorkSource representatives used the county seminar to walk attendees through local and state workforce platforms, training catalogs and employer-facing services intended to reconnect residents with employment opportunities.
Presenters said residents can access thousands of online training courses—during the session a presenter cited “more than 6,000” training options—and a job-exchange platform where employers can search candidate profiles and jobseekers can post resumes. The speaker identified the Maryland workforce portal and a county calendar of job fairs as central entry points and said they would post calendar links in the chat for attendees.
WorkSource staff said navigation support is available for people with benefits or unemployment questions and that the county maintains a career center specifically dedicated to people displaced from federal employment. The presenters encouraged registration on the job-exchange tool, noting the platform contains roughly 1,000 job listings as described in the seminar.
Panelists also said WorkSource can help with vouchers for certification courses, resume workshops and in-person events such as local job fairs. They urged attendees to contact county offices or the WorkSource page for more information and follow-up assistance.
The presenters answered attendee questions about where to find professional classes and job-fair schedules and said they would post resources and calendar links in the event chat.
