South Fulton

residents now have a one-stop center to help them with their careers.

The Comprehensive

Career Center is in the Department of Family and Children Services building

at 5710 Stonewall Tell Road in College Park.

Fulton County

public information officer William Durant said the center will help job-seekers

of all skill levels and ages prepare for, and find, work through a partnership

of government and private agencies.

The center

opened yesterday and Durant said Fulton County plans to open another center

in North Fulton soon. Eventually, the county hopes to have up to 21 satellite

centers scattered throughout the county.

Career advisors

at the center will help identify skills and services needed to land a

job and suggest where to seek training.

Durant said

users can conduct their own job searches through the Georgia Department

of Labor and get help filing for unemployment, and check job databases.

A resource

room has helpful computer software, plus a fax machine, phone bank, printers

and job search literature.

The center

is administered by the county Human Services Department's Office of Workforce

Development, with oversight provided by a citizen-based Workforce Investment

Board. Partners in the center are the Department of Labor, Family and

Children Services, Job Corps, Rehabilitative Services and NCBA, a senior

citizens employment agency.
