They are accepting appointments for resume and job search assistance, pre-enrollment assessments, and skills training program eligibility and enrollments. You can schedule an appointment for these services through the phone number or link above.
Lastly, walk-ins for public computer access, printing, copying, or faxing will be available at all locations during Workforce’s designated Tech Time, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12pm to 4pm. Computers in the career center will be available on a limited basis and by appointment only. In-person workshops and group classes will remain suspended.
