The Lorain County JVS worked with Emerge to develop a web-based Job Posting System that helps current and former students find the perfect job.

Client Feedback

According to Tina Salyer, Lorain County JVS Career Services/Public Relations Coordinator,

“the on-line jobs database that Emerge designed for the JVS Career Services Office gives thousands of JVS students and alumni instant access to job information that we receive on a daily basis. It also gives our business partners an easy and efficient way to send their job postings to us.”

“Before we implemented this customized system, we relied on “snail mail” to get job postings to our graduates-not a very efficient way to communicate in a timely manner. We had the vision for this process and Emerge made it happen! The best part is we aren’t using someone else’s template; Emerge helped us design a customized web-based system that perfectly addresses our needs. Because of the company’s excellent customer service, there is always someone available to answer questions or tweak the system when the need arises.”

System to be Presented

Tina Salyer will present the Emerge developed Job Posting System at the Ohio Career-Technical School Regional Placement Meeting, held on November 2nd at the Mideast Career Center in Zanesville. Tina will also present the system at the statewide “Spotlight” Conference later in the school year.
