One-Stop Career Center coaches will be on hand to provide free resume reviews from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, April 24, 2019, as part of the official grand opening of the One-Stop Career Center at the James I. Gibson Library,100 W. Lake Mead Pkwy., Henderson, NV 89015. Walk-ins are welcome.
The One-Stop Career Center is the second center located inside a Henderson library as part of an ongoing partnership between Henderson Libraries and Workforce Connections, Southern Nevada’s Local Workforce Development Board. Green Valley Library also hosts a One-Stop Career Center.
Through federal funding, One-Stop Career Centers offer free career resources needed for job seekers during a job search, and for businesses looking to hire. One-Stop Career Center career coaches work one-on-one with community members to help secure opportunities for no-cost training and education. Vocational rehabilitation, adult literacy, and other programs such as food assistance are also available at the centers.
“We are pleased to be celebrating the One-Stop Career Center in our Gibson Library,” said Henderson Libraries Executive Director Marcie Smedley. “By offering these resources out of both our Green Valley and Gibson Libraries, we’re expanding the reach with workforce development resources across Henderson.”
“Our goal is to make the employment services and training offered by One-Stop Career Centers as convenient as possible. Our partnerships with local library districts, such as Henderson Libraries, is a major part of this strategy,” said Workforce Connections Executive Director Jaime Cruz. “By working together, we can maximize taxpayer dollars and provide our community members the resources they need to be successful.”
AARP Foundation will also be on hand to provide information about the Senior Community Service Employment Program that works with those age 55 or older who are unemployed and economically disadvantaged.
