WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — After months of renovations, the Wichita Workforce Center celebrated the completion of its new modernized facility on Wednesday.
The center, near the intersection of North Amidon Avenue and West 21st Street, offers a wide variety of resources, including resume building and job fairs.
“It’s about creating a more welcoming, efficient, and modern environment where individuals can connect to careers, employers can find talent, and partners can work together to strengthen south-central Kansas,” said Alana McNary, chair of the board of the Workforce Alliance of South Central Kansas.
Before the renovation, the center’s employees were divided between two locations.
McNary said that now, having all its resources in one place will “get things streamlined for not just our clients, but our employees as well.”
The center hosted a multi-employer job fair on Wednesday.
“Workforce development is ultimately about economic mobility,” said Keith Lawing, president and CEO of the Workforce Alliance. “It is helping people move from uncertainty to stability, from a job to a career, and from simply getting by to building a better future for themselves and their families.”
