CareerOneStop
The U.S. Department of Labor’s free site for exploring careers, finding training, checking licenses and organizing a job search, including a section for people with a record.
Work & school
Work comes back in stages: the job that pays the rent, then the one you wanted. Both are easier with a plan and a few tools. Members here use courses that finish in weeks, help turning a gap into a résumé, and straight answers about going back to school as an adult. No one has to know why you’re starting again. This page is for starting again.
