Committed to offering efficient and effective functionality, the JobLink Career Centers offer the following services to individuals: Job listings The JobLink Career Center web site (www.ncjoblink.com) provides employment and career resources for business and job candidates. In addition, the web site offers tools and information for the Institution or Training Provider, Workforce Development Professional and Policy Maker.

NORTH CAROLINA WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT 13 North Carolina Workforce Development Institute The North Carolina Workforce Development Institute provides staff development and training services for those working within the North Carolina workforce development system in order to enhance the quality of employment and training services available to customers. Striving to provide meaningful, interactive, quality training, the course offerings are based on job functions and major responsibilities or tasks as prioritized by "best practitioners." The course offerings are determined by ongoing needs-assessments through surveys, training evaluations, and direct requests. Beyond the development of contract training, other projects of the Institute are leadership issue forums, coordination of interagency training for one-stop implementation sites, serve as a clearing house for a core curriculum for workforce development direct-services staff, and certification of workforce development professionals. NC STARS: North Carolina State Training, Accountability and Reporting System A federal grant from the U.S. Department of Labor was received in March of 1999 for the design and implementation of a full-featured Eligible Training Provider (ETP) system. The impetus for North Carolina's development of an ETP system was twofold: recognition of the critical importance of the eligible training provider list to the successful implementation of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), and the North Carolina WIA implementation date of January 1, 2000. NC STARS is an Internet-based, interactive application used by training providers to submit their applications to provide WIA-funded training, by local workforce boards to review and certify eligible training providers, and by individuals seeking training in a specific location or occupation. The system accomplishes three prime objectives: 1. eliminating the need for paper forms and massive centralized data entry efforts; 2. allowing real time entry and update of vendor data and vendor certifications by workforce boards; and 3. allowing almost instantaneous viewing of the most current information by all customers. The project is on-going and as it evolves, is incorporating new technologies and new features.
