Capital Workforce Partners COVID-19 Response
Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, Capital Workforce Partners is taking precautionary measures to ensure the safety and well-being of both staff and customers.
Capital Workforce Partners Administrative Office and all American Job Centers in the North Central Region of CT will be closed to the public.
Capital Workforce Partners through the American Job Centers (AJC) continues to serve clients virtually and by phone. In an effort to continue to address the community’s workforce needs, we have set up a “Job Seeker and Employer Help Line” designed to provide potential temporary employment options and support to individuals who may have been dislocated due to COVID-19. This may consist of referring individuals to temporary job opportunities, to community partners and programs, as well as directly to AJC programs working through a virtual model.
Latest Updates:
