Thru Word of Mouth Referral, I've recommended this place, as a One Stop Center, whether it's using Unemployment Phones, various job search outlets, meanwhile there is classes, either virtual or in person, skill work shops, and visits from Lehigh Valley Carbon County College...Before COVID, I was in this center, probably everyday, signing up for courses, classes, and workshops ..I started in 2016 Basic Healthcare, went thru the class, and graduated🧑‍🎓🧑‍🎓 Thank you, for providing a multitude of services, so very appreciated, especially in these times ..Thank you, So Much 👍👍

Quite possibly THE WORST and most inept people created this system. They can't even get letters to employers on time and they expect everyone else to get things to them immediately. They don't answer the phone and they don't respond to emails. Very sad how our tax dollars are going to waste with an organization such as this.

The Caring Connection

May 27, 2022

As an employer, they make it impossible to speak with someone over the phone and they do not respond to emails in a timely manner (but they expect everyone else to get things back to them within a day or two, regardless of when received. They send out letters that arrive 10 days after the supposed date they were mailed out, and they have the most antiquated system for logging in to the web portal. By far, the biggest disappointment is the fact that they will happily hand out unemployment compensation to people who quit without reason and then they leave it up to the employer to justify why the employer should not be responsible to pay that compensation. I have been on hold with them for over 2 hours and then finally when someone answers the phone, they tell me, "I'm sorry, the letter doesn't tell you what option to push, but you didn't push the correct one, so I am not "able" (willing) to help you. It's very disheartening because there are people who are deserving of unemployment compensation but I feel the office is incapable at figuring out who is deserving and who is not. If they can't even handle answering the phone, how can they handle the real issues? This has been an ongoing issue with unemployment in the L.V. and it was supposed to be overhauled and handled better. I feel it has gotten far worse over the past few years and will only continue to get worse.

Does career link help unemployed people to get a degree for free?

Jamie Pantaleon | Sep 24, 2019
PA CareerLink Lehigh Valley | Sep 24, 2019

While we do not offer funding for degrees, we are able to refer those who are interested in a specific career program to various educational partners. In certain cases we can provide partial funding for job seekers to participate in programs such as occupational skills training, on-the-job training, apprenticeships, transitional jobs, et cetera. The job seeker needs to meet various eligibility requirements and the program of interest must also meet critera in order for the training to be approved. You can learn more on our website: https://www.careerlinklehighvalley.org/JobSeekers/TrainingEducation.aspx

I know they offer phlebotomy at McCann (which career link funds). Go into Career Link and the front desk will most likely point you in the direction of WIOA. They do have spanish. There is a whole process that you have to go through to get your education for FREE as long as your income qualifies. My advisor was Nelly R. She is a great person and bilingual. Go in and explore all your options :)
