AMERICAN JOB CENTERS CAN HELP WORKERS


While petitions are being investigated, workers are encouraged to visit their local American Job Centers (AJCs) to get help with: career exploration, training, resumes,
interviewing, job search and job fair information.

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) authorizes the nationwide one-stop delivery system carried out by AJCs. These centers provide an array of employment
services and can assist job seekers in many ways. The TAA Program partners with WIOA and can be accessed through the AJCs.
