Alabama Career Centers Activities
The Employment Services Division is responsible for all activities of the State Employment Service: Career Center Operations, Veterans’ Services, Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), and Migrant Seasonal Farm Worker (MSFW) activities. The ES Division is the contact for information regarding the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) programs.
Alabama’s network of 57 One-Stop Alabama Career Centers and satellites are strategically located throughout the state. Job search and development, occupational and educational training, vocational rehabilitation, veterans’ services, and unemployment insurance information are offered.
Employers work with local centers to locate employees with specific skills, and the goal is to consolidate the delivery of services at a single location. Many centers are electronically linked with partner agencies, such as the Alabama Departments of Labor, Human Resources, Rehabilitation Services, Education, the two-year college system, and others.
Services to Employers Available at Career Centers
In a constantly changing marketplace that requires new technology and demands new skills, the Incumbent Worker Training Program helps Alabama employers cover expenses for workers to upgrade and acquire new skills, helping companies to meet foreign competition, avoid layoffs and stay open.
