The Center offers an array of services: everything from unemployment benefits through retraining. The Center’s computer lab allows job seekers to do resume preparations. Seek for jobs via the World Wide Web and communicate with other Training Centers nationwide. The career library provides a complete collection of reference materials including books, videotapes, and CD-ROMs, books. Fax machines, copiers, printers and telephones are available for public use. Counselors and staff on hand are committed to the clients they serve and are able to help clients cope with the unexpected changes in the job.
