Lakeview Hub » Exploring Jobs That Fit Your Life

Not sure what kind of job you want — or what’s realistic for you? Don’t worry. Jobs First Durham (JFD) has two tools that can help you explore your options: the Career Library and the Skills Demand Report. These tools help you plan for jobs that make sense for you.

What is the Career Library?

The Career Library lets you look up any job and learn what it’s really like. You’ll see:
