Part of the Growing Homeshoring Trend, Home-Based Career Development Program will Teach Participants to Find Legitimate Telework and Freelance Jobs Online
Woodstock, CT (PRWEB) June 3, 2005 Staffcentrix, a leading provider of virtual careers training and related resources to the Armed Forces and other clients, has announced the launch of its Home-Based Career Development Program, the latest in its series of virtual careers training programs. The new 6-hour program will teach participants to find legitimate home-based employment and freelance opportunities on the Internet.
The training in its pilot phase will be facilitated by Staffcentrix and hosted by Army base Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, and will be given June 9 at the bases Army Community Center (ACS). The workshop will be open to everyone eligible to receive career development services from the ACS, and is given at no cost to attendees.
The Home-Based Career Development Program," says Staffcentrix COO Michael Haaren, is founded in large part on expertise Staffcentrix developed in researching and publishing the Rat Race Rebellion, our weekly bulletin of screened telework and freelance jobs. Unfortunately, the home-based jobs arena is littered with scams, and our researchers must eliminate approximately 30 leads for every one we publish. In our new program, we show people how they themselves can find that needle in the haystack, so they can enjoy the family-friendly and environmental benefits of home-based work with a bit more peace of mind."
"The homesourcing or homeshoring trend goes far beyond call centers," notes Staffcentrix CEO Christine Durst. "The true revolution, and the much larger story, is in how home-based independent contractors in particular function as cost-optimal growth agents for small business and microenterprise."
The new program will also include information on how to find companies that routinely hire home-based workers; how to customize resumes to make them more attractive to remote or virtual employers; how to work effectively with children in the house; and how to understand the difference between working as an employee and as an independent contractor.
