Our local and state job training programs are organized into an easy to use interactive network that has been created under the concept of a "One Stop" system. To best meet the labor needs of local employers, the St. Lawrence County One Stop Career Center offers the combined programs and services of a number of workforce development agencies. Through this easy-to-use Center, you will find assistance with the recruitment of new employees, incumbent worker training, on-the-job training and customized training programs.

Services include applicant matching for appropriate referral, providing interest and aptitude assessment and identifying potential training programs that provide requisite skills; along with job development and follow-up.

Recruitment, matching and referral are important services offered to employers. One Stop staff visits area employers on a regular basis to gain information on current and potential job openings. Customers who possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities are referred to a prospective employer. Employers interview customers who meet employer expectations and have the potential to become long term productive employees. Staff also prepares customers for job interviews. Regular staff contact ensures that both employer and employee are satisfied with the outcome.
