Our History
Copyright 2010 Joblink Network
The Joblink Network was formed in September 2008 as a result of the closing of the Buena Vista Virginia Employment Commission\Workforce Center. Area FBCO's (Faith Based & Community Organizations) held multiple meetings to assess & identify the needs of our community as a result of the VEC office closing & established a SHARE Network.
The SHARE Network concept was launched in 2005 by DOL as a result of President Bush's Faith-Based and Community Initiative of 2001. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has developed strategies that enable the One-Stop Workforce System to partner with faith-based and community organizations (FBCOs) to help struggling job seekers.
SHARE stands for Sharing How Access to Resources Empowers. It is a unique resource to help job seekers (customers) become self-sufficient. It is a network like no other. It brings together…
* Workforce Development Partners
* Faith-Based Organizations
* Community Organizations
* Businesses
* Government Agencies
SHARE Network services are available @ a SNAP (Share Network Access Point). This is a faith-based or community organization where people can go in their own neighborhoods or communities to look for jobs, assisted by trained volunteers who connect them to the One-Stop System via computer or direct referrals.
Our SHARE Network is known locally as the Joblink Network, Career Cafe' is the primary SNAP (SHARE Network Access point) in Rockbridge County.
