Riverside County Offers Help For Unemployed Residents

Press release from Riverside County:

Sept. 10, 2021

Last Saturday (Sept. 4) marked the expiration of the pandemic-related unemployment insurance benefits that provided enhanced benefits to unemployed workers impacted by COVID-19. As these benefits come to an end, resources are available to Riverside County residents to help them transition back to work through the county’s Workforce Development Centers, also called America’s Job Centers of California.

These comprehensive resources are offered free of charge and include career resource rooms with computer access, resume assistance, career coaching, interview preparation, job search assistance, job training and paid work experience.

“We offer an array of services that are tailored to each job seeker’s needs,” said Carrie Harmon, assistant director of the county’s Department of Housing and Workforce Solutions. “In addition to employment resources, we also offer assistance with childcare, transportation, uniforms and other needs to help workers return to work.”

Services are offered virtually and in-person at one of the county’s four Workforce Development Centers located in Riverside, Moreno Valley, Hemet and Indio. For more information, visit www.rivcoworkforce.com or call (833) 391-0507 during regularly scheduled business hours.
