The CEDIA Career Centre is a new tool launched for employers and jobseekers in the custom install industry.
The new platform allows jobseekers, CEDIA members, industry employers and collaborator companies to do the following:
• Create a customisable company profile that includes a company logo, overview, social media links, and more.
• Post open positions, including internships, apprenticeships, and contractor/gig work.
• Search candidate profiles and CVs.
• View resources on topics, such as talent attraction, recruitment, development, advancement, and termination.
• Create a personal profile for jobseekers to showcase their professional information, including CVs and references.
• Apply for jobs with CEDIA member and collaborator employers.
• Review jobseeker resources on topics, including employability skills, CV development, job search assistance, interviewing skills, skills training and more.
A key part of CEDIA’s ongoing strategic mission is workforce development and finding new talent for residential integrators, as well as helping them to develop in their profession.
The launch follows a study commissioned by CEDIA with Butler University called “Voice of the Integrator”, which found that 54% of employers surveyed across US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Mexico identified finding qualified employees as the top issue they are facing.
“The workforce pipeline is a crucial element to the industry’s present and future and the launch of the CEDIA Career Centre represents a major milestone in CEDIA’s tireless efforts to ensure highly-qualified talent is engaged with the industry and connecting with employers,” said Tommy Tabor, CEDIA’s director of workforce development.
“The CEDIA Career Centre offers practical, easy-to-use resources for anyone looking for work in the industry or anyone hiring. The platform is the latest valuable tool designed by CEDIA to deliver the opportunities, training, and connections to drive the industry to the next level.”
