Southwest Corner PA CareerLink Services Remain Virtual as Sites Prepare for Re-Opening (Including Counties in Green)

Subject Line: Southwest Corner PA CareerLink® Services Remain Virtual as Sites Prepare for Re-Opening (Including Counties in Green)

 

 

 

Greetings Southwest Corner PA CareerLink® Customers,

 

We appreciate your willingness to adapt with the PA CareerLink® team as we learned together how to live and work in this new virtual environment. This would not have been possible without your understanding and patience, for which we are truly grateful!

 

The health and safety of our customers and staff remains a top priority. We are working diligently behind the scenes to ensure we have the proper personal protective equipment (PPE), cleaning supplies, and staff training; and we are making physical changes to our offices so we can welcome everyone back to our sites with minimal health risks. As such, Southwest Corner PA CareerLink® physical offices will remain closed, even in counties moving into the green phase, until we have everything in place for a safe re-opening.

 

As our valued customer, when on-site services are available we will inform our partners and customers immediately on opening dates and all protocols moving forward.

 

Remember that although our sites aren’t open, our teams are still providing the following services virtually, so don’t hesitate to contact us.
