WorkSource can help you make career choices. We are a federally-funded non-profit agency that works with the State of Florida and many community partners to assist you. You have access to any of our Career Service Centers in a six-county region of Northeast Florida. The best part is that these services are FREE of charge to you.

Following are the services we provide at every WorkSource Career Services Center:

Resource Rooms

You can use our Resource Room for FREE access to computers with high-speed Internet access, phones, fax machines, copy machines, and printers. We can provide you with all the tools you need to create your resume and cover letters, print, fax, or email them to prospective employers and search job opportunities on the web.

Find a Job

The WorkSource Career Services Center was designed to help you find a job through state-of-the-art job matching services. A customer service representative will help you register and find jobs within our database that are ready to be filled in our six-county Northeast Florida region, and throughout the state of Florida.

Unemployment

If you require additional assistance, our WorkSource Career Services Centers serve as locations to file unemployment compensation claims through the internet. We also have information on how to file Unemployment Compensation claims for other states.

Training, Workshops & Recruitment

If you are having difficulty matching your skills to available job opportunities, training may be an option. We will perform an assessment to see if you might be eligible for assistance with training and education. Programs include vocational certification and associate’s degree curricula through public and private training partners in our area.

There are several FREE work and life related workshops available for you at any of our WorkSource Services Centers. Topics include writing effective resumes, interviewing, dressing for success, financial planning, and more.

You can also benefit from our partnerships with First Coast employers who are actively recruiting people with your skill sets. We schedule and manage job fairs and other forums for jobseekers to meet with potential employers face-to-face.

Public Assistance and Community Transition

WorkSource can guide you through the requirements and applications processes for public assistance through the Welfare to Work program. Based on your eligibility, you may get temporary cash assistance (TANF), food stamps and child care assistance, while looking for a job.

Everyone deserves a second chance. If your background includes legal problems that prevent you from qualifying for a job, we can help. Through regional partnerships, WorkSource is able to provide special services to help you make your workplace transition successful.
