WASHINGTON, Aug. 25, 2009 - The Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America) announces the launch of its interactive job board, the ITS America Career Center. With its focus on transportation and engineering industry companies, the ITS America Career Center offers its members-and the engineering industry at large-an easy-to-use and highly targeted resource for online employment connections.

"We're very excited about ITS America's Career Center, because we know how critical it is for employers in the transportation and engineering industry to attract first-rate talent with a minimum expenditure of time and resources," said Scott F. Belcher, president and CEO, ITS America. "And, it's important for us help enable smooth career transitions for those seeking industry jobs."

Both members and non-members can use the ITS America Career Center to reach qualified candidates. Employers can post jobs online, search for qualified candidates based on specific job criteria, and create an online resume agent to email qualified candidates daily. They also benefit from online reporting that provides job activity statistics.

For job seekers, the ITS America Career Center is a free service that provides access to employers and jobs in the transportation and engineering industries. In addition to posting their resumes, job seekers can browse and view available jobs based on their criteria and save those jobs for later review if they choose. Job seekers can also create a search agent to provide email notifications of jobs that match their criteria.

An added benefit for both employers and job seekers is access to the Engineering & Science Career Network (ESCN), a growing network of leading engineering and science associations. ITS America's alliance with the ESCN increases employers' reach to over 15,000 resumes, as well as job seekers' reach to hundreds of job postings.

The Intelligent Transportation Society of America represents more than 400 member organizations including public agencies, private corporations, and academic institutions involved in the research, development, and deployment of technologies that improve safety, increase mobility, and sustain the environment.
