Research has shown that one of the best ways to find a job is through friends, family or social networks.  During CAP Job Club  meetings we encourage members to share ideas and help one another with job searching. We  invite guest speakers, including people from local businesses, to inform us of opportunities in the area. We enable members to share each others’s job-hunting and career experiences, also past members who have secured employment are invited back to share what it has been like starting work.
