As part of the national One-Stop initiative,
our goal is to connect employment, education and training services at local, state and
national levels, both electronically and at the WorkSource center. For job seekers this
means that you will no longer have to fill out forms with the same information more than
once, and that services are available from one site. For businesses the on-line options
provide a wealth of information and the ability to decide when you want staff assistance,
or want to find workers and information on your own.
