Employer Services

Upon notification of a layoff affecting fifty or more workers, our Rapid Response team can respond with on-site, early-intervention services customized to help your employees cope with job loss and assist them in the transition to their next opportunity.

At your request, we can provide your employees with:

• Information about available publicly-funded services to help them employees find a new job
• Information on unemployment insurance and how to file
• Professional workshops including resume preparation, interviewing, and salary negotiations
• Financial planning and stress management workshops
• Emergency crisis counseling
• Labor market information
• Information about training opportunities
• Customized job fairs

We can provide informational meetings at your work site for layoffs of less than fifty workers. These informational meetings provide your employees with valuable resources to assist them in making the transition to a new job. The affected workers will receive basic information on accessing their unemployment insurance benefits and referrals to the Career Centers.

Business Solutions will work with you to conduct a personalized Hiring Event. This will be planned with focus on your company and the specific postings you need to fill. We have three Career Centers in Travis County where they may be held.

The service is of no cost to the employer and the only requirements are that the employer:

• Has one or more job posting in WorkInTexas.com with a minimum of 10 openings
• Provides a minimum of one week for scheduling and marketing of the event to our job seeker customers
• Commits to providing a list of all referrals and resulting hires to the Business Solutions Team.
• Is operating with a Tax ID.

The only requirements to use our facilities at no charge are for your business to be registered with us and to have current job posting(s) listed. The registration requires a valid UI (unemployment insurance) tax ID number for your business.

If this meets your needs and requirements, please contact Business Solutions to get signed up or self-register online at www.WorkInTexas.com. 

Industry Focused hiring events are an opportunity for employers to market their job opportunities to job seekers looking for positions within specific industries and occupations.
