RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS) --  Air Force Personnel Center officials here have developed a new Air Force civilian employment Web site to educate potential applicants and the general public about available civilian jobs, the eligibility and application process and finding job opportunities in various specialties and career fields.

"Over the next five years, the Air Force plans to hire 20,000 more civilians into civil service," said Michelle LoweSolis, Civilian Force Integration director at AFPC. "The new civilian employment Web site is a proactive approach to arm job seekers with every tool they need to confidently apply for Air Force jobs."

Ms. LoweSolis also said the new site will help clarify the Air Force's current civilian hiring process and provide site visitors with detailed information about available career fields. The site also helps explain federal employment benefits and educates visitors on student job opportunities.

The launch of the new civilian employment site also aligns with AFPC's roll out of the "Your Future" employment marketing and recruiting campaign in September.

"The overall strategy of the 'Your Future' campaign is to help market and brand the Air Force as a premier civilian employer," said Shirlene LeBleu, the Force Renewal and Development Division chief at AFPC's Civilian Force Integration Directorate. "The initiative, once released Air Force-wide, will help fill civilian vacancies more quickly by targeting qualified, local candidates as well as increase employment opportunities for military dependents."

Air Force civilian employment opportunities can be found at the new Web site, http://www.afpc.randolph.af.mil/afcivilianjobs. For more information about civilian employment, please call the Total Force Service Center at 1-800-525-0102.
