    Washington – The N.C. Division of Workforce Solutions is realigning its services to better meet the needs of North Carolina job seekers and businesses following reductions in the Division's federal and state funding.

    The Division is analyzing the delivery of workforce services throughout North Carolina to find efficiencies and align administrative costs where necessary. Steps to improve efficiency include cross-training staff members and implementing the job-search website, NCWorks Online, a one-stop platform to streamline the job search process. These changes will provide increased customer services, more quickly connecting clients to the opportunities they need.

Beaufort County Career Center

    The local office will be open 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Mondays through Fridays.

    Citizens will continue to have access to the same workforce services as other offices, including free Internet access and resume preparation, as well as career counseling and assistance using the job-search website NCWorks Online.

    "Our workforce programs are essential to helping people train for and find employment, so it's crucial that we develop ways to more efficiently serve our communities," said Will Collins, Special Assistant for Workforce Development. "These adjustments help us succeed in our mission: to strengthen North Carolina's economy by connecting employers to talented job seekers."
