Career Center Services
The Department of Career Services has Career Centers all across the state which offer Employment Counseling, Vocational Testing, Job Placement and Support Services. If you are a Trade-eligible individual who would like help in finding a new job you can access services at a Career Center to develop a Career Plan. If needed, this may include a plan for you to attend a training program to gain new skills which may help you find a new job at a salary comparable to your previous job.
