Century Was About To Lose Its Job Service, But They’ve Found A New Free Home

November 21, 2019

CareerSource Escarosa was looking at the possibly closing their Century location, but now should stick around thanks to free space from the town.

CareerSource currently operates three days a week from a mobile home owned by Abundant Life Assembly of God at 8120 North Century Boulevard. The nonprofit agency provides employment and training resources for area job seekers and employers. They also operate a video conferencing system that allows face to face interaction with the Social Security Administration.

CareerSource CEO Sheryl Rehberg said they will be leaving the mobile by January because it is “falling apart”.

Mayor Henry Hawkins has offered to allow CareerSource to use about 200 square feet of a storage area  located just off the lobby at Century Town Hall three days per week for free, and the agency will reimburse the town $150 per month to cover utilities. The room will be partitioned off for the jobs agency.

According Rehberg, the agency will install their office and computer equipment and provide their own internet service. She said they currently see between 3-12 people per day.

The two-year contract will include an early termination clause. The town council must approve the contract once it is prepared.
