Who is this for?
Anyone looking for work, changing careers, or needing help with job readiness — including youth, people with barriers to employment, and career changers.
How help usually works
American Job Centers offer free job-search help. Training programs have their own entry rules, costs and schedules. Ask what support is available before signing up.
How to start
- Ask a job center about resume help, computer access and current openings.
- For training, ask about entry rules, costs, start dates and any financial support.
- If work is urgent, say when you can start and what hours or travel you can manage.
What to bring
Bring a resume or notes about your work history if you have them. Ask which documents a training or funded program requires.
If you need help soon
