A free employment and career services Web site created to better link Oklahoma college graduates with Oklahoma jobs was publicly kicked-off recently by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. Also launched was a similar Web site for Oklahoma certified teachers and Oklahoma schools. Specifically, the Oklahoma Marketplace and Teacher Job Connection allow college and university students and alumni and Oklahoma certified teachers to create r sum s online, search job listings and match their r sum s to current job listings. Additional information such as job search tips, career services, contact information for college and university career placement offices and other online resources is also provided. In addition, Oklahoma employers and schools can use the free site to post unlimited job listings, match their job listings to online r sum s or review r sum s of prospective candidates.
Employers also have the option of receiving r sum s from interested candidates through e-mail.
Employers can also access education and training and labor market information on the site. The Oklahoma Marketplace and Teacher Job Connection are hosted and maintained by the State Regents and funded through state appropriations for higher education, enabling the sites to be offered for free. They also reflect recommendations included in a study on the development and use of technology throughout the state's system of colleges and universities.
