One Stop Services for Individuals
Introduction to Core, Intensive, and Training Services

The St. Lawrence County Workforce Investment Board (WIB) with the enactment of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) is mandated to oversee the One Stop Career System. The System is designed to be a composite of agencies providing services to the citizens of the County. The System is to be non-duplicative and provide universal access to all unemployed and under-employed individuals who seek self-help services as well as staff-assisted services in search of employment leading to personal self-sufficiency.

In order to accomplish this task, the WIB has established a full franchise career center at 80 State Highway 310, Canton, New York. At the full franchise center an individual has access to all services listed in the Act. The Act breaks services down into the four group types of service outlined below.

CORE A services are by design "self-help" and are available for individual access in our 1st floor Resource Room. Services in the CORE B, Intensive, and TRAINING categories require the customer to come to the One Stop Career Center for these "staff-assisted" services.

Note: Advancement from one level of service to another requires verification in the participant's case file that established criteria has been met to support the advance.
