Looking for a job or figuring out your next step can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s been a while since you’ve had to search.
For Terri, that moment came after retiring from many years of working in Orange County Public Schools.
“It had been 20 years since I’d written a resume. I didn’t even know where to start.”
But thanks to a partnership between Rappahannock Goodwill Industries, Virginia Career Works – Piedmont, Orange County, and the Orange County Public Library system, support was closer than she expected.
Through VCWP’s mobile services, career support is now available directly in your community. That means job seekers can get help with resumes, applications, and career planning without having to travel far.
When Terri visited her local library, she didn’t just find resources, she found a connection. After being introduced to Katie, Director at the library, she applied for an open position and was soon hired.
Her story is just one example of how meeting people where they are can make all the difference.
“Having that one-on-one connection can be really comforting. It’s a stressful place to be when you don’t know what’s next.”
At Virginia Career Works – Piedmont, our team works closely with community partners to bring workforce services directly to Orange residents, helping remove barriers and connect people to opportunities.
Whether you’re exploring a new career, updating your resume, or just getting started, support is available near you.
Sometimes, all it takes is one visit, one conversation, and one connection to open the door.
“Nothing is better than being able to say, ‘Yes—we have someone who can help you.’”
