The Skills Training & Employment Project (STEP), originally funded by a U.S. Department of Labor grant, has expanded the library's job and educational resources to better serve the people of Brooklyn.
Althought the grant has come to an end as of June 2008, beginning in the fall of 2008, STEP-like services will be offered in selected branches throughout the borough.
- Meet one-on-one with friendly career advisors
- Assess your needs
- Learn about the next steps towards your goal
- Explore materials, programs and services
- Learn to use the library's job-related books and computer databases, including:
- Career Cruising: An interactive career guidance resource in English and in Spanish. Users can find help with occupational assessment, career exploration, educational planning, and portfolio development. (Available for use at the following locations: Central Library, Business Library, and the Marcy Branch.)
- Learning Express Library: Test prep material and practice exams for the GRE, SAT, graduate school, civil service, technical and professional exams. (Available anywhere with an Internet connection and a library card.)
- Connect with outside agencies who offer training and job placement
- Learn more about the industries in which you want to work
- There will be more information about the program in the fall online and in print
Signing up for The Skills Training & Employment Project (STEP) is not an application for employment at Brooklyn Public Library. Job openings at Brooklyn Public Library are available on our website.
