One of the most important services offered by the Career One Stop centers is help with claiming unemployment benefits.

The centers have trained staff who can assist with navigating the application process and ensuring that individuals receive the benefits they are entitled to.

In addition to assistance with unemployment benefits, the Career One Stop centers provide a range of other services to help job seekers find work. This includes job search assistance, training programs, and career counseling services. The centers also work with local employers to help connect job seekers with open positions and to provide information on the skills and experience employers are looking for in new hires.
