RESEA Program

The Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) Program, funded by the U.S. Department of Labor. Once you have received your first unemployment check, some of you will receive notification to participate in the RESEA program. The Career Center Seminar (CCS) is tailored to provide comprehensive insight of the diverse array of services, events, training opportunities, and programs offered at MassHire Downtown Boston Career Center. The primary goal is to empower and prepare Job seekers for their next employment opportunity.


RESEA Program Steps

Step 1

Attend Career Center Seminar (CCS)

Held every Tuesday at 10:30 am. If you have not yet attended CCS, register through JobQuest.

You can also complete the On-Demand Career Center Seminar through JobQuest. Please reach out to your Career Center immediately after completing this step.

Step 2

Initial RESEA Meeting

The RESEA team will send you an email (to the same email listed on your JobQuest account) within 2 business days after completion of your Career Center Seminar. You must submit the following forms before your Initial RESEA Meeting can be scheduled.

  • UI Eligibility Assessment Questionnaire
  • RESEA Action Plan (CAP)
  • Individual Needs Assessment
  • Labor Market Research Worksheet
  • Your Resume
  • Work Search Activity Logs (ALL logs from the time you started claiming unemployment until today)

Step 3

Interim Service

You must attend a webinar to fulfill your Interim Service requirement. This step must be completed at least 24 hours before your Final RESEA Review. Please note, JVS recruitment sessions do NOT fulfill this requirement.

Step 4

Final RESEA Review

A RESEA team member will schedule the Final RESEA Review meeting for you during your Initial RESEA Meeting.

Step 5

Future Service

You MUST attend one additional webinar after your Final RESEA Review. A RESEA team member will schedule this for you during your Final RESEA Review. This webinar must be completed at least one day after your Final RESEA Review. 

*Please note: All 5 steps MUST be completed IN ORDER by your individual deadline (specified by DUA) to avoid interruption of your unemployment benefits.
