All local young adults, 16 through 24, may participate in the Governor’s Summer Job Hunt program–a free job-referral service–and are welcome to attend workshops on job-search skills.

For Veterans, we offer a myriad of employment-related services designed to assist you in transitioning from the military to a civilian career. Your military service entitles you to Priority of Service in American Job Centers, including the Pikes Peak Workforce Center. Federal law mandates you be served ahead of, or instead of, all others seeking assistance, notwithstanding any provision in federal law. You served us, now let us serve you!
