WENATCHEE – WorkSource Wenatchee will move Monday, Oct. 19, to a newly designed space at 270 9th St. N.E. Suite 240, East Wenatchee across from the East Wenatchee Police Station.
“Employers and job seekers should really be pleased with the new center,” said WorkSource Wenatchee Administrator Mary Zavala. “We have a great new space while reducing our operating costs. The new center is only one and a half miles from where we were before, so it will continue to be convenient.”
WorkSource will share a building with Career Path Services and Opportunities Industrialization Center (OIC). The center will offer Wi-Fi and computer outlets for visiting employers and job seekers, as well as rooms equipped to conduct job interviews via Skype.
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.
