  • Job clubs are small groups of job seekers that meet regularly for peer support and motivation and to share experiences and job contacts.
  • Job development and placement strategies are about identifying job openings and connecting people with employment.
  • Job retention strategies help workers keep their jobs and help employers retain their workforce.
