Tucsonans laid off as a result of the coronavirus pandemic can seek help from the Pima County One-Stop Career Center, which is ramping up efforts to handle an anticipated increase in demand for its services.
Countless businesses have been shuttered following city and state mandates to close the doors of places where people tend to congregate including bars, theaters, gyms, and dine-in restaurants, often leaving employees without pay.
The career center provides employment referrals, support services, training assistance and guidance on how to access the online application for Arizona unemployment insurance benefits.
One-Stop’s business services team has been working for matches with employers who are looking to hire, especially in the areas of grocery stores and delivery services.
