Job Outlook for Workforce Career Coach Facilitators

Even before the current economic downturn and the effect it is having on job seekers, the U.S. Department of Labor had predicted an increase in the need for workforce counselors. In fact, the bureau's 2008-2009 Occupational Outlook Handbook states, "Demand for vocational or career counselors should grow as multiple job and career changes become common and as workers become increasingly aware of counseling services."

The need for certified, trained workforce career coaches has become even more vital as record numbers of unemployed seeks new jobs and change careers.
 
Hundreds of thousands of people are employed in the workforce and career services field.  The outlook is good in the field especially for employment interviews, educational and vocational counselors, personnel recruiters, rehabilitation staff, etc.  There will be an increasing need for workforce and career services staff given the state of the economy and the need to help returning veterans and their families.
