Using JobMatch...


...is a requirement for most of my learners who are Job Seekers, it's one of the reasons they find themselves having to become ICT users. Many are completely new ICT users.

There are a significant number of ICT hurdles to negotiate in order to set up a GOV.UK account which is excellent for learning ...usernames, passwords (more than one!!!), form filling, emailing, clicking links to activate accounts, web browsing, navigating a website, word processing & much more… Many problem solving opportunities!! - V good practice for becoming confident operators of the digital environment. 

My learners create CVs in Google Docs which they store on their Drive & can attach to emails - all within their Google account. They can copy & paste their CVs from Google Docs into the CV tool on the JobMatch site. Most importantly, this means, it is possible to achieve everything necessary without the expense of owning a computer. No downloading/uploading documents...
