Training Opportunities and Other Services
If you are looking for a job, or trying to find a better job, you are encouraged to use our Core Services, including our Resource Area and Workshops, at no charge. To get started you should attend our Orientation to Services workshop offered on Wednesdays. A counselor will be available to help you organize your job search activities. If you discover you need more than our Core Services to reach the next step in your employment goal, your counselor will check to see if you are eligible for additional services, including testing and training activities. Or you can read about other on-site WorkSource programs and services which may be available to you, including training.
