Reaching job seekers isn’t the challenge - getting them to respond is.
Text messaging has become one of the most effective ways that workforce organizations connect with their communities. With open rates over 98%, it’s a direct line to share timely updates, reduce no-shows, and keep participants engaged.
But one of the most common questions we hear is: “What should we actually be texting?”
We pulled together real examples from workforce organizations using texting every day - simple, effective messages that drive action.
From event reminders to job opportunities and case manager check-ins, these messages are helping teams:
-
Increase program participation
-
Improve appointment attendance
-
Keep job seekers on track
-
Reduce repetitive phone calls
If you’re looking to get more out of your outreach, this is a great place to start.
