Case Management
Each client is assigned to a case manager who works individually with you to help address your needs. Case managers can help with choosing a career or training path. Certain individuals may also qualify for other supportive services in the areas of transportation costs, child care needs, tools, uniforms and other equipment which may be needed to secure employment. All information discussed with case managers is strictly confidential. More information...
Resources
The United Labor Agency can assist the job seeker at any step in the process. We have DSL computers available for your use with online job searches. We can provide you with resume paper, envelopes, labels and will even pay for the postage. Telephone, fax, and copy machines are available along with an extensive library of career materials including books, videos and CD-ROMs.
Training
Many participants who lack a marketable skill may qualify for re-training benefits. Speak with a case manager to see if you qualify.
In addition to being able to provide outside training, the ULA also has in-house training programs. Clients needing computer skills should take advantage of our computer class which can help even the most technologically unskilled. The workshop lasts two weeks long and is located in our new resource center boasting 10 brand new networked computers. For more information...
