Job Seekers
 Highline Community College Community & Employment Services has
thirty years experience finding successful community job placement
based upon an individual’s skills and interests. Our success rate
tells the story. We currently support people who are gainfully
employed through businesses such as Costco, King County, Lowe’s,
Starbucks and many more. We create individualized job placement in
all industry types and businesses in King County. Based upon
eligibility, CES staff consult with job seekers to provide
assessments, job development, and follow along services.
Assessment
CES staff will partner with you to gain an understanding of your
skills, interests, and environmental supports necessary for stable,
long-term, gainful employment. You will be matched up with an
Employment Consultant who will facilitate the creation of a plan
that will outline the best strategies for both you and Highline
Community College to gather the information necessary to later find
a good job for you. Each plan is individualized and based upon your
interests and skills. Strategies used may include personal
interviewing, job samples, and classroom experiences.
Job Development
Your Employment Consultant will work with you and with businesses in
your area to find or create a position that works for you. While we
have many businesses that we work with who employ our students and/or
provide job sample experiences, we will seek out employment
opportunities that match your individual skills and interests based
upon the information determined in the assessment.
Follow Along
Follow along services provide on-going, long-term support and occurs
when you are employed in a competitive-wage, community position. An
Employment Consultant will meet regularly with both you and your
employer and provide assistance, education, and/or training as
required to ensure stable and successful long-term employment.
