The Champaign County Economic Development Corporation and Visit Champaign County have launched the Community Job Application, a digital platform that “allows newcomers to streamline their job search and community exploration process with personalized assistance, job matching, and relocation information in three short steps.” The endeavor is partially funded by Champaign County’s American Rescue Plan Act allotment, and will be free to use for employers and prospective employees. From the press release:
Candidates, both internal and external to the community, who are interested in connecting with Champaign County employers, can visit YoureWelcomeCU.com, click on “Make It CU”, answer a few questions, and upload a resume. Candidate information will then be distributed to local employers to help facilitate job matches. Prospective new residents can also request to be connected to a member of the Chambana Welcome Crew. These plugged-in locals can answer questions about living and working in the area and help newcomers find their place in the community.
