The Mobile Workforce Centers help ensure communities in need can access employment-related services in areas without a brick-and-mortar Arkansas Workforce Center office. The Mobile Workforce Centers have established a network of support throughout the state and are frequently in demand to serve the communities of Arkansas.

When a company downsizes or closes, the Rapid Response Team can provide information and connections to various services and programs to assist workers during their transition. When there is time to provide expanded services for workers, the Mobile Workforce Centers are brought in for on-site assistance at job fairs or transition centers. The RESEA program has also worked to have the units provide job readiness training—email [email protected] for assistance.

The units also support reentry activities by assisting individuals who are still incarcerated, recently released, or within 30 days of release. The units help with AJL information and registration, job search, resume creation, mock interviews, and information on careers and small businesses. For individuals who are 30 days to release, a Quick Guide provides a snapshot of how much preparation is needed to take the Career Readiness Certification assessment and if there is a need for additional help through the Key Train modules or a referral to Adult Education.

You can request the Mobile Workforce Centers for job fairs, hiring events, conferences, and other occasions so attendees can receive and/or learn about AWC services. The mobile units are versatile and can also be used to host things like training sessions, interviews, workshops, assessments, and more.
