SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., Oct. 25, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board announced it opened a new Employment Resource Center in Victorville.

Moving from its former location in Hesperia, the new Employment Resource Center is now located at 17310 Bear Valley Rd., Suite 109, Victorville. It has four classrooms, the first computer lab with Wi-Fi and several interview rooms for use by local employers seeking new hires.

The Employment Resource Centers help county residents re-enter the workforce or transfer their skills from shrinking industries to expanding industries. These vital services are offered at no cost to residents and include job training, job placement, job search, career counseling, resume writing and interview training as well as access to computers, printers, telephones and copy machines.

The Workforce Investment Board operates three Employment Resource Centers, located in Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino and now Victorville. Last year, these centers served more than 78,000 job seekers and provided more than 8,500 services directly to local employers.

In addition to the comprehensive service offerings to job seekers, the Centers offer expert employment advisors and business service representatives to help recruit and hire trained and skilled employees. The Centers also help local employers access funds and programs to support their businesses such as customized training programs or On-the-Job Training funds.

“The new ERC will help us continue to be an effective resource for businesses and those seeking work in our community, especially with our new central location,” said Harmsen. “The new ERC offers more of the outstanding training and hiring resources for which the Workforce Investment Board is known. It will continue to help job seekers in our area access much needed job training and job placement.”

The Workforce Investment Board is planning an official Grand Opening celebration of the new Employment Resource Center for the community to be held next Spring.
