workNet DuPage Kiosks
…now at Helen Plum Library
Partnership for Employment Opportunities
In tandem with the Skill Up DuPage information sessions, workNet DuPage began to install touchscreen kiosks providing access to their services with the touch of a finger.
A kiosk is now installed at Lombard’s Helen Plum Library, open to the public.
Kiosk users can determine which services would be most useful for them, explore a variety of career paths, and get the process started immediately with near real-time contact from workNet staff.
The initiative aims to enhance access to workNet’s free career services by building off the strong network of community service providers in DuPage.
