ABERDEEN -WorkSource Grays Harbor will move at the start of the month to the top floor of the recently renovated Elliott Building at 415 W. Wishkah St. in Aberdeen.

The center's current location will be closed from 12-5 p.m. on Friday, May 1, during the move. WorkSource Grays Harbor will reopen at 8 a.m. Monday, May 4, in the new space.

"The move will allow us to improve the customer experience and reduce operating costs," said Mike Michener, WorkSource Grays Harbor administrator. "The new location is only a couple of blocks from where we were before, so WorkSource will continue to be convenient for job seekers and employers."

WorkSource will share a building with the Department of Social and Health Services' Community Service Office and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation.

Washington's WorkSource system is a statewide partnership of state, local and nonprofit agencies that deliver a wide array of employment and training services for job seekers and employers.

In 2014, staff at 68 WorkSource centers, affiliates and connections sites helped roughly 169,500 workers and nearly 5,600 Washington employers.

Studies have shown that people who use WorkSource job-search services tend to find work faster and earn more money than those who don't. WorkSource locations can be found at go2worksource.com.
