One-Stop Career Centers

The One-Stop Career Center focuses on providing aid, job referrals, and other services to New Jersey employed and unemployed workers. To quote their "Career Support" page on their website: 

New Jersey's One-Stop Career Centers provide integrated services to workers, career seekers, and employers to help match candidates with various opportunities.

Job seekers who are veterans receive priority referrals to jobs and training and special employment services and assistance. In addition, we provide specialized attention and service to individuals with disabilities...justice-involved individuals, youth, and older workers.

We encourage youth and young adults to browse the career center! Do you want to learn more about it? Let us know in the comments below! For youth and young adults, ages 13-26, join us on the SPAN Youth Chat on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:00 PM.
