CareerSource reopening career centers in Northeast Florida next week

Jacksonville FL — Helping Northeast Florida get back to work.

On Tuesday May 26th CareerSource Northeast Florida says they will be reopening seven career centers in six counties. They say once they reopen there will be new safety measures in place to protect those looking for a job and the workers. Some of the new safety steps include workers wearing PPE and cleaning areas after each appointment. They will also be taking the temperature of their staff as well as each job seeker. CareerSource is asking job seekers to wear some sort of a face covering when they come to their appointment.

Spokesperson for CareerSource Ron Whittington says once the centers reopen they’ll be by appointment only.

“We’re limiting that to 45 minutes per appointment” Whittington says.

He says you can start making appointments today at careersourcenortheastflorida.com or you can call 904-356-5627. Before heading to your appointment some of the things you'll need to have prepared include a resume, working email address and have your Social Security Number.

To make sure social distancing still takes place, CareerSource is modifying the layouts of their centers and there will be less workstations and capacity to limit physical contact. They say they’re making up for the lack of space by changing around conference rooms and adding some short-term spaces. To help make sure they can help as many people as possible virtual services will still be provided.

All Centers will be open from 9AM until 4PM Monday through Friday at the following locations.
