The Anoka County Job Training Center administers programs to meet the needs of youth, laid off workers, seniors, and unemployed and underemployed adults in our community. We are one of several partner agencies who provide comprehensive services to job seekers and employers in the community.

Our Dislocated Worker Program services are designed to help workers who have been laid off get back to work as quickly as possible.
