PA Career Link appointment scheduling link greyed out - can't book required meeting despite completing orientation

i had same problem last week. try using diff browser like firefox. the site is glitchy w chrome. worked for me after i switched

There are a few things you can try to resolve this issue: 1. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again 2. Try a different browser as suggested above 3. Try accessing the site during non-peak hours (early morning works best) 4. Make sure you've actually completed ALL the orientation modules - sometimes there's a final confirmation step that's easy to miss 5. Check if you need to complete your profile information 100% before scheduling is enabled If none of these work, you'll need to contact your local PA CareerLink office directly. The online system has been having these glitches since they updated it in January 2025.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS BROKEN ON PURPOSE I SWEAR!!! They make these websites confusing so people give up and they don't have to pay benefits. I spent THREE WEEKS trying to schedule my career link appointment and kept getting errors. Called the office 14 times and nobody answered. Finally had to physically go to the office to get it fixed. The whole thing is designed to make you fail.

when i had this issue it was because i needed to verify my email first. check your spam folder for a verification link maybe? after i clicked that the scheduling button worked fine for me

I had the exact same problem last month when trying to schedule my PA CareerLink appointment. After trying everything online without success, I used Claimyr to reach someone at the UC service center (claimyr.com). They connected me directly to a rep who was able to troubleshoot the CareerLink issue on the spot. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 The rep explained that sometimes the system flags accounts for manual review which disables the scheduling button. They fixed it while I was on the phone and I was able to schedule right away. Saved me weeks of frustration!

this happened to me too! turns out you have to wait 24 hours after finishing the orientation before the link becomes active. dumb system never tells you that tho lol. maybe try again tomorrow?

As a career counselor who works with the PA CareerLink system, I can tell you this is a common issue. Here's what you need to do: 1. Log out completely and clear your browser cache 2. Log back in and go to your dashboard 3. Look for a section called "Action Items" or "Required Steps" 4. Make sure there's a green checkmark beside EVERY item 5. If all items show complete but the link is still greyed out, there's likely a synchronization issue between systems In that case, call your local CareerLink office directly (not the UC service center) and ask for the Career Services department. Tell them you have a "scheduler synchronization issue" - using those exact words will help them understand the technical problem. They can manually enable scheduling on their end. Also, make sure you're eligible for scheduling - if you just completed orientation today, the system typically updates overnight, so try again tomorrow morning.

I had this exact same issue a few months ago! What finally worked for me was logging in through the PA.gov portal instead of going directly to the CareerLink site. For some reason the scheduling button worked when I accessed it that way. Also make sure you're using the "full site" version if you're on mobile - the mobile version has tons of bugs with the scheduling feature. If you're still stuck after trying all these browser fixes, you can also try calling during their least busy times (Tuesday-Thursday mornings around 8-9am seem to work best for getting through). Good luck!
