The American Job Center of Lancaster and Saunders Counties will open a new location at 1330 “N” St in Lincoln on January 11. Hours will be 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays and Tuesdays, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
The current location at 11th and “O” St. will permanently close at 5 p.m. January 10. “The American Job Center provides an essential service to our business community by eliminating barriers to employment for workers and supporting the workforce needs of local employers,” says Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird. “This new and improved facility builds economic opportunity in Lincoln.”
Dylan Wren is the AJC Workforce Administrator and says the center served more than 4,500 job seekers in 2021. Plans to create the new location began in 2020.
Wren says the new center features a more family-and client-friendly design that includes natural light, children’s’ play area, breastfeeding room and phone booths that enable clients to make job-search calls privately.
New conference and interview rooms allow clients to meet potential employers and career planners. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology such as free Wi-Fi, webcams, televisions and iPads, the rooms allow clients to interview for potential jobs in person or virtually.
