Career Services & TAP (El Centro)

Employment Readiness and Transition Assistance programs are geared towards assisting Sailors and family members finding meaning employment. Sailors and their family members can come in and sit with one of our Work and Family Life Consultants (WLFC) or attend our workshops.

One-on-one assistance or workshops addresses launching a job search, career planning, resume writing, interview techniques, federal employment information, self-assessments, goal setting, and vocational tests.

FFSC  workshops include Finding Federal Employment, Winning Interview Techniques, Owning Your Own Business, and Resume Writing.

The FFSC Career Centers offer computers, the internet, and job postings for your use.
