More than a dozen subject matter advisors from public- and private-sector APTA member organizations joined a team of technical experts Oct. 15 at the APTA offices to work on the Transit Virtual Career Network system being developed for the public transportation industry. Project team members focused on approximately 65 front-line career occupations along with related functions, features, and capabilities being planned for the new website. The site, scheduled to roll out in summer 2014, will help job seekers learn about public transit careers, necessary skills, access to available training programs and resources, and local and national job opportunities. The John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development, the Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation at Rutgers University, leads the project team. Other members of the technical team include the American Association of Community Colleges, National Association of Workforce Boards, and XPAND Corporation. This project is being funded through an FTA grant.
