Take charge of your SUCCESS
 
Today you can become part of the national workforce system established to help our nation's businesses meet their employment needs and job seekers who wish to further their careers.

If you are at least 18 years old and authorized to work in the United States, you may qualify for our services.

• Were you laid off or terminated due to a plant closure or mass layoff?
• Are you having difficulty finding a job in your previous occupation or industry?
• Do you need to seek employment outside of the home?
• Would improved job skills allow you a step up to better wages?

Three levels of service help you meet your employment goals.

Our Core Services provide basic assistance you may need to help you polish your resume, work on your interviewing skills, learn new job search skills, obtain information on the labor market, information on supportive services and referrals, and apply for financial assistance with other partners, if needed.

You may need the next level or more Intensive Services that include Career Planning, comprehensive assessments, group and individual counseling, and more advanced job search assistance.

Job opportunities may be enhanced by obtaining new skills.  While Training Services may not be right for everyone, we have available a variety of options including, Occupational Skills Training, On-the-Job Training, Skill Upgrading and Re-training, Job Readiness Training, and Employer Customized Training.
