Media Contact: Jill.Kleist@labor.idaho.gov

Job search, resume assistance available in four south central Idaho communities.

Idahoans living in Gooding, Hailey, Jerome and Shoshone can now access Idaho Department of Labor services without leaving their communities.

Employment services offered at the four additional locations are in addition to full-service offices in Twin Falls and Burley.

“Our mobile office model is for Idaho citizens without a Labor office in their community,” explains Department of Labor Director Jani Revier. “Our partnerships with local libraries, community centers, city halls and other organizations allow us to deliver face-to-face services to rural Idahoans. Our footprint is larger now than ever before.”

All mobile Labor locations offer walk-in hours and appointments staffed with a Department of Labor workforce consultant who can help with writing resumes, filling out job applications, preparing for an interview, accessing job training resources, filing for unemployment insurance benefits and other services.

Services are also available for businesses including help with listing jobs, recruiting employees, organizing hiring events, hosting employer seminars and providing access to job training programs.

Idahoans throughout the state can get help finding a new job, upgrading their skills and increasing their earning potential in more than 50 mobile locations.

The department’s offices, mobile office locations, walk-in operating hours and contact information can be found online at labor.idaho.gov/officedirectory
