OUR HEROES AT HOME
We are committed to providing Priority of Service. Veterans can find the employment services they need by working with our Veterans’ Representatives to find jobs, acquire skills and education, plan their career, attend workshops, and take advantage of our other resources.
MassHire Berskshire Career Center gives priority of services to qualified veterans (and other covered individuals) when referring individuals to job openings, DOL funded training programs and related services in accordance with the implementation of the Veterans’ Priority Provisions of the “Jobs for Veterans Act” (PL 107-288). Any person who identifies himself or herself as a veteran (or spouse or dependent child of a veteran killed in combat, or of a 100% disabled veteran whose disability is service connected, or of a member on active duty who is listed as missing in action, captured in the line of duty, or forcibly detained) shall be considered for priority of services. Qualified veterans will receive priority referral to services over non-veterans as determined by each program’s mandatory eligibility criteria.
We can offer assistance with job search, Career Planning, Career Training, Resume Services, Use of Personal Computers, Internet Access, Workshops and Ongoing Support, and Referrals to Partner agencies.
Get started today by becoming a member through attending a Career Center Seminar, which previews an overview of all the services available. At the end of the Seminar, you will have the opportunity to meet with your Veterans’ Representative to review your career plan. Your Veterans’ Representative will assist you and make appropriate referrals for a successful job search.
