Morris/Sussex/Warren Employment & Training Services Mobile App
The Morris/Sussex/Warren Employment & Training Services (ETS) has launched their FREE mobile platform, which expands career resource accessibility for customers who live and work in the tri-county area.
It is not an app, but rather a text service sending messages to jobseekers that direct them to a webpage designed for mobile phone access to offer a wide array of employment services. Created in collaboration with theMorris/Sussex/Warren Workforce Development Board and local One-Stop Career Centers, the mobile platforms aims to assist customers with their job search needs by providing on-the-go access to resources such as job readiness services, training program information, current job leads and more.
Additionally, weekly text updates will alert subscribers to job leads and upcoming hiring events in their local areas. The Employment Resource platform provides a user-friendly mobile experience at no cost to users. To sign up and subscribe to this free service, please text “MSW” to 56512.
The service will update job leads and hiring events weekly, and highlight local employment opportunities as well as high-volume job requests.
