We help businesses find skilled employees and career seekers access employment opportunities through high quality information and services. Our focus is to provide workforce solutions which promote economic growth.
Your local Lawrence One-Stop Center!
Employers, job seekers, career changers and students will find help for their work related needs at the Lawrence Workforce Center. We pride ourselves on helping find the right worker for your job opening, and the right job for your career goals. We are truly a “One Stop” for anything related to our local workforce. A variety of agencies and non-profit groups partner to present a full menu of workforce services. From long term training to short term training, from hiring new workers to skills upgrades for existing workers, from simple job searches to career assessments and counseling, from worker referrals to professional Human Resources services, the Lawrence Workforce Center partners have the expertise and experience to help you.
Most of our services to you are pre-paid through various grants overseen by a local “Workforce Investment Board” (WIB), primarily comprised of business owners who know the economy and the labor market. The Workforce Center is managed by Heartland Works, Inc., a private non-profit that also provides many of the services in the Center. With its partners, Heartland Works, Inc. follows federal regulations under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) to ensure our supporting grant funds are efficiently, effectively and appropriately invested.
