This month, the American Coal Council (ACC)  will launch its new, online job board, the ACC Career Center, to be your resource for making online employment connections in the coal industry.

Many employers and job seekers today are discovering the advantages of shopping online for industry jobs and qualified candidates to fill them. But the one-size-fits-all approach of the mega job boards may not be the best way to find what you’re looking for. The ACC Career Center will offer employers targeted access to quality coal industry professionals, along with quick and easy job posting and online job activity reports.

Job seeking professionals can make sure their resumes are being seen by those in the industry who matter most to them. The ACC Career Center will offer job seekers free and confidential resume posting, automated weekly email notification of new job listings, and the ability to save jobs for later review.

Be sure to visit the ACC website for updates.

If you are seeking a speaker for your next meeting, conference, webinar, or virtual gathering and you need information on the North American coal industry, coal-fueled energy, transportation issues, and/or public policy issues related to coal and energy, perhaps the American Coal Council can help?

Coal is America's most abundant/secure and affordable fossil energy resource, and with our history of continuous technological improvement, coal is an increasingly clean energy source. Currently coal makes up 50% of our energy supply and forecasts are saying that our coal use with continue to grow well into the future.

Whether you need a broad, 50,000 foot industry overview, or you are looking for a more specific and focused discussion on the industry, the American Coal Council employees would welcome the chance to address your conference, employees, or community group.
