NC Division of Employment & Training February JobLink MIS North Carolina

NC Division of Employment & Training February Philosophy  North Carolina know three things about our JobLink customers: Who are they? Why are they coming to the JobLink Centers? What happens to them?

NC Division of Employment & Training February Who Are Our Customers?  In order to obtain a swipe card, individuals entering the JobLink center must meet with a staff person.  JobLink staff gathers personal and demographic information from the customer and enters the information into the database  The JobLink MIS is linked to the NC ESC data base. If an individual has registered with ESC, their information will populate the JLMIS information screen  The customer is issued a card with a unique identifier

NC Division of Employment & Training February Who Are Our Customers?  The swipe cards contain no information  All identifying information is housed in the server at the ESC state office  If a customer loses (or forgets to bring in) their card, a new card can be issued, and all customer information is then linked to both card numbers
