Services for Persons with Disabilities

The Workforce Centers of South Central Kansas welcome all customers and provide reasonable accommodations to ensure that its buildings, programs, and services are accessible.

Persons with disabilities needing accommodations to participate in any Workforce Center programs or service should contact their local Workforce Center. Many of Workforce Center services are considered to be self-directed, meaning that they can be completed without staff assistance. However, the staff in our centers are always available to help answer your questions.
