Help with Job Loss Due to Coronavirus
Raleigh, March 18,2020 – Capital Area Workforce Development’s (CAWD) NCWorks Career Center network is providing employment services to Wake County residents virtually. Individuals experiencing job loss due to coronavirus or those looking for education and training resources can do so without visiting a career center in person.
“Social distancing is the order of the day and we know that business closings are affecting the livelihood of many people. Providing services online instead of requiring them to come in person is the most expedient and safe way to get them back to work,” said Pat Sturdivant, Executive Director at CAWD.
