The Workforce Development program provides you with tools, resources, information and training to help you successfully obtain a job. Our staff will help you assess your specific skills, experience, knowledge and abilities to help strengthen your resume and prepare you for job interviews.

If you’re looking for a job, follow these steps to apply for the Workforce Development program:

STEP 1: Attend an orientation offered weekly on Mondays at 2 p.m. or Thursdays at 9 a.m. to receive a detailed description of the services we offer and receive an application packet.

STEP 2: Schedule an Intake & Eligibility appointment. From there, your eligibility will be determined and you will be assigned a Workforce Specialist who will work individually with you in pursuing your career goals.

Our lobby computers are available for you to use for self-directed job search, posting, updating or modifying your resume; researching employers and exploring educational opportunities.
