self-paced, and free online course that helps users develop skills and
tools that last a lifetime. The course covers self awareness, career
exploration tools, finding employment, the interview, and maintaining

The Job Seeker's Toolkit also allows professionals to follow their
students' progress and provide feedback. Professionals and families can
easily register to generate a short code that students can include in
their profile. This code will allow students to send associated
professionals their completed assignments with the check of a box. Use
it with your students or clients today! 

For the next few weeks only, NO registration required! Log in using the
following credentials: 

User name: test course

Take advantage of this introductory period to explore the course with
ease. Note: even after the log-in requirement is added, all AFB
CareerConnect users will be automatically provided access to the course.
Just visit your My CareerConnect profile to check the "I want to take
the Job Seeker's Toolkit" box.
