One-Stop Career Center Initiative

Managing Agency U.S. Department of Labor http://www.dol.gov/

Program Description

One-Stop Career Centers are at the heart of the new workforce investment system emerging under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). These centers provide an integrated array of high-quality services so that workers, job seekers, and businesses can conveniently find the help they need under one roof in easy to reach locations. One-Stop Career Centers are designed to help businesses find qualified workers and help job seekers obtain employment and training services to enhance their careers. These services include assessment of skills, abilities, aptitudes and needs; assistance with Unemployment Insurance; access to Wagner-Peyser Act funded employment services such as the states' public labor exchange and labor market information; career counseling; job search and job placement assistance; and information on training, education and related supportive services such as day care and transportation. Eligible individuals can obtain more intensive services and training. One-Stop Career Centers are convenient to most communities in the United States.
