OXNARD, Calif. - Californer -- The Workforce Development Board of Ventura County (WDB) announced the re-opening of the America's Job Center of California location in Oxnard and the affiliate East County office in Simi Valley. The Oxnard office also reopened with some welcomed changes.
The centers provide free access to a host of employment-related resources to help individuals find rewarding careers. They can receive assistance with resume preparation, training referrals, view job openings and employer information and learn about in-demand occupations. Customized training in the region's in-demand occupations and assistance with tuition and books is also available. Services are available in English and for English language learners.

All job seekers have free access to Internet service, computers and printers. The office has implemented COVID-19 safeguards to minimize the risk for visitors and staff. Services remain available virtually for those who prefer it.
"More than ever, people are looking to change careers or acquire new job skills," says WDB Executive Director Rebecca Evans. "There is a profound shortage of qualified workers. Our staff is ready to guide job seekers through the process so they can find those rewarding, good-paying jobs."
The job centers have also seen large numbers of people hit hard by the pandemic who struggle to get back in the workforce. For example, a 19-year-old was laid off after five months of work because her employer had to close its doors due to COVID restrictions. A 21-year-old hasn't been able to find work once he was let go after his employer's business slowed. Both came to the centers seeking assistance to better their skills and find jobs that match their experience levels.
