Texas Workskills Development in Libraries Project

A new resource this week is the Texas Workskills Development in Libraries project, better known as TWDL (pronounced "twiddle"). This project seeks to enhance and build the workforce skills of Texas residents and support Texans in elevating their standard of living through education and employment. Whether you are library staff or a Texas resident seeking more information regarding job training resources, please explore this site which will be constantly updated as information becomes available. You will find help, information, and a schedule of workshops regarding resume preparation, writing cover letters, online application completion, job hunting strategies, and interviewing techniques. You will also find links to self-paced tutorials, lists of agencies offering training by region, and much more. http://twdl.org/
