What is Wireless Work?

Wireless work is a program for those with mobility disabilities who need to find, retain and augment work, improve skills and advance their careers. Wireless work will train participants in using online tools to develop and use 3 networks:• Job Search Network• Professional Skills Network• Career Advancement Network

What Makes Wireless Work Different

• Wireless Work believes that “relationships” are the most valuable means by which to locate and secure jobs, improve professional skills and advance careers.

• Wireless Work eliminates HR screening barriers

• Wireless Work teaches people how to do the work of job search, skill development and career advancement for themselves.

How do we get there from here?

• Access, or “getting in”, is the primary issue faced when approaching employers.

• HR screening practices are designed to prevent entry. They are the moat around the castle.

Access?

• Where are the bridges, tunnels and easy access lanes we need for employment efforts?

• How do we build them?• What is the cost of these circumventions?

The Answer

We believe that people are the currency, internet communication is the place and

relationships are the bridges, tunnels and easy access lanes we need in order to find jobs, increase skill level and advance careers.

Investment

• Wireless Work is not a placement program. • We do not do the work for participants.• We teach participants how to do things for

themselves.• Since relationships are the key to the Wireless

Work strategy, it follows that participants need to invest their own time and effort into developing and using these relationships.

It’s Not About Selling

• Wireless Work is not in the business of “selling” applicants to employers.

• Wireless Work is in the business of assisting participants to develop and use relationships that will give them contacts on the inside of employer circles.

• With Wireless Work, the “who you know” meets with the “how you use the who you know” to complete employment, skill development and career advancement.

The World, Your Home

With Wireless Work, the world is at your fingertips from the comfort of your own home.

Work, skill development and career advancement is just a fingertip walk away.
