More About
Us
 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 employers
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.
