Job search is a full time job, and as such, we provide a work environment that is comfortable and effective. The tools that the LSERC provides are what clients will often use in the work place; computers, printers, photocopiers, fax machines, telephones and general office supplies.
Our Resource Specialists are readily available to help clients make the transition from job search, to employment as painlessly as possible, while providing each client with the respect and support they deserve.
