NEW ORLEANS, La.—U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao visited the New Orleans Workforce Partnership Adult Career Center on August 3. The center is one of more than 3,500 One-Stop Career Centers nationwide, supporting the employment and training needs of job seekers and the human resource needs of employers.

“One-Stop Career Centers are a valuable resource for workers who are looking for jobs and for employers looking for workers. The centers are welcoming and helpful places where workers can access core employment assistance services and get the training they need to find good jobs in high growth sectors,” said Secretary Chao. “These are also good places for employers seeking workers.”


"Getting people back to work is what this Department does. Giving people hope in their future is our job."
