5 Steps to Rapid Employment™
Exclusively for Workforce Development Professionals

Workforce Development

  • Are your job seekers frustrated both by how long their job search is taking and with the lack of results they’re getting?
  • Is your staff burned out, overworked, and overwhelmed by the numbers and expectations of job seekers?
  • Has your organization struggled to keep up with the demand for services while also maintaining quality and meeting performance expectations?

If you answered, “yes” to any of these questions, it could be that your job seekers are using outdated job search techniques for a workplace that no longer exists. They are still playing by the old rules, while employers have developed new ways of finding and securing the talent they need. No wonder your job seekers and staff are frustrated! The good news is that there is a solution.

Jay Block’s 5 Steps to Rapid Employment™ program addresses all of these questions, and more by:

  • Empowering and motivating your job seekers to conduct their own “job campaigns”, freeing up your staff to work with others who need more assistance
  • Allowing your organization to serve more job seekers without the need for additional staff
  • Improving your organization’s performance in a measurable and cost-effective way

And, it can do all this for as little as $200 per job seeker!

We know your resources are limited, so we help minimize your financial investment by teaching your staff how to deliver the program. We’ll be with you every step of the way, from implementation suggestions to detailed lesson plans your staff can use and/or adapt.

OUR PROMISE TO YOU: To serve and advance the initiatives of organizations that connect job seekers with jobs or careers by providing cutting edge, motivational, and proven programs that result in rapid employment.

“The 5 Steps Program is the best program for landing a job I have seen in my 20 years in workforce development. It provides motivation, inspiration, and hope during a time it’s most needed.”

Testimonial from Mechele Small

Jay Block’s 5 Steps to Rapid Employment™ program is a motivational, holistic step-by-step process that teaches the new skills and advanced self-marketing strategies needed to gain rapid employment. The foundation of the program is empowerment – changing limiting belief systems and motivating participants to take full responsibility for their job campaign.

The program teaches a systematic process where new skills, self-marketing tools, and strategies give job seekers a significant competitive advantage in landing the jobs they want, quickly and confidently. Many customers have reported that it not only led to quick employment, but also literally changed every aspect of their lives.

When is the last time your job seeker customers said things like this  . . .?

“I feel the 5 Steps to Rapid Employment™ gave me tools to handle all aspects of finding the job I want. From the emotional aspects of unemployment and the struggle to find a job or career to the practical tools that I can use to be successful in my campaign to get what I want and need. I feel empowered and more in control of my life and the process of finding the job I want.”

Jarret C., Job Seeker

What makes the 5 Steps program different?

Provides a systematic, step-by-step process that takes the mystery and guess work out of landing a job. Customers know where to start, and what to do next all along the way.

Shifts the responsibility for the job campaign back to the customer, changing the expectation that the One-Stop Career Center staff will “get them a job.”  The program teaches principles of success customers can use in all aspects of their lives, emphasizing personal responsibility and the need for action.

Puts the customer in charge of his or her job campaign. The campaign is a proactive plan designed and managed by the job seeker, supported by staff and classmates.

Is a complete “soup-to-nuts” package that includes principles of success, self-discovery, labor market research, goal setting, development of self-marketing tools, creation of a job campaign plan, learning and practicing networking and interviewing skills, and strategies to be successful on the job.

Teaches customers how to develop a package of self-marketing tools that goes beyond the traditional resume. Job seekers create a value-based resume, reference portfolio, case study portfolio, and LinkedIn profile.

Uses a holistic approach to help the job seeker identify and align his/her values with work and career goals. Customers create a vision, identify bridging activities to help them achieve it, and are more motivated to push through obstacles when they arise.

Offers flexible delivery options using web-based components and blended classroom workshops.

Cost-effective, proven results. Attendees who complete the program typically land jobs in less than half the time of the national average.
