You are a Dislocated Worker if you have been permanently laid off or if you have received a notice of termination or layoff from employment. Dislocated Workers may qualify for a variety of job search and training services from PA CareerLink Lehigh Valley. As a Dislocated Worker, we can help you get back to work through three types of services that are available to you at no cost: Core Services, Intensive Services, and/or Training Services.
All job seekers have access to Core Services that are available at all PA CareerLink Lehigh Valley Centers.
If Core Services do not produce results in your job search, you may be eligible for more Intensive Services. These services include:
