With the aid of a U.S. Department of Labor grant, a number of one-stop career centers are being developed or have been implemented in California. A one-stop career center is a physical and electronic site where comprehensive services to job seekers and employers are available. These services include the following: assessment and eligibility requirements; referral and job coaching or workshops; education and training; job search and labor market information; and job placement and follow-up. The one-stop career center should have self-directed service, group services, and one-to-one counseling. The California centers will be built to achieve four guiding principles: (1) integrative, (2) comprehensive, (3) customer-focused, and (4) performance-based centers for assessment, education and training, and job placement. A pilot center has been created at the Los Angeles Mission College Business and Professional Center. (KC)
