LinkedIn for the Job Search
Learners build a LinkedIn profile that says what they do and what they want next, and use it to reach people and apply.
Who it is for
Job seekers who have no profile, an old one, or a profile they have never used to reach anyone.
What learners leave with
- A headline and About section written with AI and edited in their own voice.
- Three outreach messages ready to send: a connection note, an informational interview request and a follow-up.
- A method for reading a job post on LinkedIn and pulling out what it asks for.
- Their own decision on Open to Work and on disability self-ID, made with the facts in front of them.
Length and format
Three weekly 90-minute sessions.
Live online or in person, 6 to 12 learners. Every learner works on a free LinkedIn account. We shape the examples to the fields the cohort is aiming for.
Access built in
- We ask about access needs before the first session. Every slide is described out loud, every prompt is in the chat as text, and captions are on.
- We show each step with a keyboard as well as a mouse, and plan the screen reader path with the program.
- We show how to add alt text and captions to anything learners post.
- Disclosure is a choice that belongs to the learner. We share the free JAN and ODEP guides and never ask anyone to disclose in class.
Program measure it supports
Measurable Skill Gains through a pre and post skill check. For vocational rehabilitation, it fits workplace readiness training and instruction in self-advocacy under Pre-Employment Transition Services.
