Overview
 Perhaps
you’ve been laid off from a job and it’s taking
longer than you expected to find work, or maybe you’re

be more satisfying. Whether you have worked for years,
or are just entering the workforce, WorkSource has valuable
resources that can assist you during your career transition.

decide what resources will work best for you and we help
you access them. (Note: Some program services require

Call
or visit the office nearest you for information about
the specific services it provides. Looking for employment,
we can help! Explore a new career, or see what it takes
to be self-employed. If you have special needs we have
something for persons with disabilities and veterans.
Maybe you just need some help with your resume or interviewing
skills.
Do
you already know what you want to do? Then research employers
in your field or look at job openings. Or perhaps you
just need some information on licensing and bonding for
a job your looking at.
Not employed? We've got
information on Unemployment Insurance, too.
