The Reemployment Program (NEres) helps connect Nebraskans to job opportunities through one-on-one assistance. Job seekers who receive unemployment benefits are required to enroll in the program to remain eligible for benefits. Individuals who are not claiming unemployment benefits can also enroll in this program as they search for new career opportunities. Contact us at ndol.neresschedule@nebraska.gov or call 402-471-2995 for more information.
The reemployment program includes:
- Career Interest Assessment: Assessments cover career interests, skills confidence, and work values. Assessment results are reviewed with individuals to ensure accuracy and identify areas of knowledge, skills, and abilities.
- Individualized Plans: Job coaches create employment plans to identify goals, objectives and determine the appropriate combination of services to help reach employment goals and understand career path options.
- Data-Driven Opportunities: Our staff use labor market information in conjunction with assessments and individuals' previous work experience to determine options and opportunities that exist in the current job market.
