The Types of Centers in Our Network
Comprehensive American Job Centers: These AJCs provide a full array of employment and training related services for workers, youth and businesses. These locations include the mandatory Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) partners on-site, such as Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES), Veterans services, Vocational Rehabilitation, and more.
Affiliate American Job Centers: These AJCs provide more limited, but still extensive, employment and training related services for workers, youth, and businesses than the Comprehensive AJCs. These locations do not include all the mandatory Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) partners (i.e., Veterans, Vocational Rehabilitation, IDES) on-site.
Affiliate Youth-Only American Job Centers: These AJCs provide career and educational services to in and out of school youth. These sites may not have public resource rooms or job readiness workshops.
Specialized American Job Centers and Sector Centers: These AJCs focus on serving specific needs, such as those of dislocated workers (those who have lost their jobs), youth, or key industry sectors, and may not offer all the services of a Comprehensive or Affiliate AJC.
Career Centers do not receive WIOA funding. They offer programs and services tied to specific programs funded by other private or public sector partners.
