“I continually see firsthand the positive results that growing employers can attain when partnering with PA CareerLink to connect with a well-skilled workforce,” Oleksiak said. “Gov.

Enhancements include additional job postings, improved job-seeker control over who views resumes, better matching of employers with individuals who have specific skills, increased vetting capabilities for posted jobs, and increased sharing across state agencies to streamline services.
