New Califa Vendor: Brainfuse (JobNow)





We're thrilled to be working with Brainfuse on their JobNow product, which provides live career coaching, resume help, digital literacy, and more. The price starts out reasonable, and gets lower if we reach certain thresholds. Contact Heather for a quote. There are also several webinars coming up - check the calendar for details and registration info.
Here's more info:
