The City of Roanoke’s Office of Economic Development partnered with Chmura Economics to offer its JobsEQ suite to Roanoke businesses and job seekers. The robust tool pulls current data from multiple sources and packages it for easy use to make better informed business decisions and job search strategies.
There are three access points to the system.
For businesses,
BusinessEQ provides real-time labor and employment data, as well as, access to over 1100 current job seekers information in the region.
For job seekers, Career Concourse connects the individual to the same data (supply/demand by industry and occuaption, assessment tests and job postings) to create a more strategic job search.
JobsEQ is the entire package with data points and tools not available with the other two access points. It’s only viewable to the Office of Economic Development, however, private tutorials can be requested. Open demonstrations will be held the 4th Tuesday of every month at 8:30 a.m. at 117 Church Ave. The first demo will be Tuesday, July 28.
There is no charge for any of these services. Please come July 28 at 8:30 a.m. to 117 Church Ave for a tutorial. If you cannot make it July 28, then the next one will be August 25.
