Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) October 15, 2004
The Columbus Urban League has partnered with CareerBoard.com to provide job posting content and career resources on the Urban LeagueÂÂs website, http://www.cul.org/.
The move will enable the Urban League to provide easy access for its constituents to jobs specifically located in the central Ohio job market. Career development services are a core offering of the Urban League so adding a career center makes sense.
Jeremy Polley, director of career development services, said, ÂÂThe alliance between the Columbus Urban League and CareerBoard is a great opportunity to expand online services the League provides. We look forward to utilizing this fantastic resource in helping the Urban League achieve our goals of job placement.ÂÂ
The move also gives Columbus-area employers a new way to embrace diversity.
ÂÂWhat a tremendous way to enrich the workforce of Columbus,” said CareerBoard president Peter Tuttle. “Local employers now have an opportunity to get their job openings in front of a rich, diverse pool of talent that they have maybe never accessed before.”
