Center for Assistive Technology & Environmental Access
The Center for Assistive Technology & Environmental Access (CATEA) focuses on the development and evaluation of assistive technology technologies for disabled people at work and home. Its Web site provides links to a number of other Web resources covering the topics of assistive technologies and training.

JobsInManufacturing.com
JIM presents a wealth of manufacturing-related jobs for primarily management positions. The business model for this site requires the prospective employer to pay to post jobs; the job seeker pays nothing.

MachineToolJobs.com
This site is about machine tool jobs, and only machine tool jobs. Their categories range from Machinists and Applications Engineers to Sales Enginners and Service Professionals. This model requires prospective employers to pay a fee to list their openings (i.e., $200 for one month), but viewing their job listings is free. So, there's that. MachineToolJobs.com also offers a recruitment department and services.

MetalIndustryJobs.com
Hoochiemama ... now this is metalworking job bliss. This site presents three "vertical" or "focused" sites that look to fill the employment needs in those specific industries. From this one spot, you can reference DieMakerJobs.com and ScrewMachineJobs.com. On each of these sites, prospective employers can post profiles or their jobs for review by candidates. And, of course, professionals from each of these industries can post their profiles (resumes?) for review by potential employers. All profiles are categorized effectively for each industry through geographic and technical abilities (multispindle, swiss-style, machine-specific experience, for example). Each site also offers security to protect posted data. A neat, thorough, focused bunch of sites.

MfgJobs
This very easy-to-use site is brought to you by the same folks at MfgQuote, the Online RFQ folks. MfgJobs offers a very simple layout that's built for effectiveness (that is, it's no too complicated). Here's how it works: prospective employers pay to submit jobs they have available; job seekers register, but can use all features available in MfgJobs for them for no fee. Its focus on metalworking disciplines and skills alone make this a worthy stop on the cyber-road to employment.

UPDATE: Steady growth has resulted in a respository of hundreds of manufacturing jobs across North America. This site is a must-have for job seekers and posters alike.

Mfgx
Mfgx is currently (04/07) in the beta stage and, as such, much of it is being refined at this point. The current phase offers some relatively standard online fare, including forums, job posting utilities (you can post or review as an employer or prospective employee), and a marketplace for posting equipment for sale. What distinguishes Mfgx from previously launched manufacturing sites are its community tools that allow for the creation of personal or corporate profiles (think MySpace for manufacturers) and a manufacturing Wiki, wherein technical content is submitted, edited and policed by the Mfgx community at large. (Not familiar with what a "Wiki" is? Check out Wikipedia for the perfect example of this model.) According to sources at the company, Mfgx was launched and is maintained as a free service by Mfg.com.

MMS Online's Career Center
MMS Online has had a Career Center available for a few years now. Employers and job seekers within the metalworking disciplines can post their jobs or resumes for free. And this service is anonymous, too, if you'd like. MMS' Career Center is a necessity for any machine tool-related employment or employee search, particularly considering it's on metalworking's premier Web site.

MoldingJobs.com
This is a straight-forward, no-nonsense site dedicated to serving job seekers and employers. For job seekers, this service is free (you must register) and includes help with resume writing & other services (all are free to job seekers). Employers are offered different levels of services for varying fees.

National Organization on Disability
The National Organization on Disability works with business leaders, associations and schools to improve work opportunities for Americans with disabilities. Its Web site is helpful for both employers looking for disabled employees, and disabled folks looking for work.

NationJob.com
Listen, we've been down that road, too: you hear about this awesome employment site, about how they have 600 ga-zillion jobs posted, then you go there and find 16 jobs or employees listed under manufacturing. Really lifts the spirits, huh?

NationJob.com, while a relatively small site, does a fine job themselves for machining and manufacturing employment. Their manufacturing categories are detailed enough that they don't rely on keywords as much, since they focus on titles such as "machinists" as well as industries like aerospace or automotive.

Whether you're looking for employment or employees, this site should be on your list of regular stops.

Office of Disability Employment Policy
The Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) Web site should be the first stop for employers considering hiring disabled folks. It offers a wealth of information about government programs, tax incentives, health care, and laws and legal rights.

Project Lead The Way
Now this is a fantastic idea. PLTW is an organization committed to preparing both students and schools for educations in manufacturing and engineering. There simply isn't enough space here to describe the goals and aspirations of PLTW. If you're at all interested in the replentishment of our industries with quality people, please visit this site and learn more about them and how you can help.

SME Jobs Connection
From one of manufacturing's most heralded associations comes this employment site, serving all within the manufacturing world. That is, you don't have to join SME to get your kicks here. As is usually the case, this site segregates its services into two categories--Job Seekers and Employers/Recruiters. Both sections offer anonymous options to post or view resumes and browse job offerings. Also offered are services for those that register, such as "Job Agents" and account management for both Job Seekers and posters. The thing about this site is its resident audience, in both numbers and quality. A welcome addition to the online employment ranks.

Tech Connections
This Web site is the result of a project funded by the U.S. Department of Education, National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). It offers information about evolving assistive technologies and the government’s vocational rehabilitation system (VR), a source of assistive technology devices and services for persons with disabilities seeking employment. Though the project has ended, the Web site is periodically updated.
