The Virginia Community College System scored a slam dunk with an assist from Chmura Economics on creating the best online platform for assisting job seekers called VaWizard.org.

In the above video, VCCS chancellor Glenn DuBois tells of how the project came about while he was planning a trip on Expedia. That online experience inspired him to ask Congress for $2 million to create the site.

The features of the site include current data from a variety of sources using Chmura’s Jobs EQ to determine the supply and demand of jobs in industry codes in a region. There is a questionnaire for users to take to determine what career fields may interest them. Those results turn up average salaries, companies who hire for those jobs, and links to Indeed.com of jobs already posted.

Additionally, if the job requires training, there are links to curriculums with cost of acquiring the education and financial aid packages.

If you are unemployed, underemployed, looking for a new job or career or know someone who is, then you must spend some time on this site to get your strategy in order so then you can go and implement the strategy by connecting with other people.
