    Hello! I'm fairly new to this group and have never posted to the list before. I hope this is appropriate to share here, and that some of you find it useful - it's from my WorkforceGPS email digest this morning.

     

    Bridging the Language Gap: Resources in Multiple Languages Supporting Workforce Success (resources for end-users/job seekers)

    "The WorkforceGPS community is committed to supporting everyone on their journeys towards successful careers, regardless of their language backgrounds. That's why we're excited to share two valuable resources packed with information and tools in Dari (Dalam bahasa Dari), Pashto (په پښتو), Ukrainian (Українською), Spanish (Español), and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt), Tagalog, Hindi (हिंदी), Haitian Creole (Kreyòl ayisyen) and Korean (한국인)."

    ·         American Job Centers Resources in Multiple Languages

     

    Caveat: You may need to create an account with Workforce GPS in order to get to the actual content/resources and even then multiple clicks are often required, but unfortunately the collections are curated from multiple government agencies and not easy to locate on the original websites. If you lose track of where you're trying to get to on WorkforceGPS, the RELATED CONTENT section on the left bar often gets you there.

     

    Enjoy!
