A Review - The Jefferson County Workforce Center
A Great Place to Start Colorado Your Job Search!

Jefferson County Facility Provides Valuable Job Search & Employment Resources

The Workforce Center resides at 3500 Illinois Street inside the Jefferson County Human Resources Administration Building.  The sign out on Illinois Street reads "Human Resources Administration" so you won't see an actual "Workforce Center" sign.  But just park in the lot and enter the building (it is the last structure on Illinois Street on the left hand side as you are traveling north.  If you enter into the golf course parking lot - you have gone a bit too far.)  Here is the Google Map for the Workforce Center.

Once inside, you as either a job seeker or an employer, you will be pleasantly surprised if you haven't visited previously.  You will be greeted by a well staffed reception desk where the personnel will quickly assist you in registering for services or answer your initial questions. Keep in mind that this center is only one of many throughout Colorado, but the focus of our review since we are a service primarily assisting the western suburbs of the Denver Metro Area.  Should you reside outside of Jefferson County, please visit our Workforce Center listing page for additional locations throughout Colorado.

The Workforce Centers throughout Colorado share a similar operational philosophy.  Centers vary in size and somewhat in scope of services provided - but you will find the same approach - free, assisted employment resources to best assist you in a first job search, a new job search, a change in careers, and much more.  We could write paragraph after paragraph about the Jefferson County Workforce Center, but instead, following is a listing highlighting some of their key services - again - free to all.
