A one-stop career center is expected to be operating in Sampson County on Jan. 1, the county commissioners learned Monday. The center, in the planning stages for two years, is expected to reduce paperwork and red tape for people who need training to get a job. The center will incorporate services from county agencies, Sampson Community College and public schools.
People can use computers to find out what services are available from the agencies.
The county Administration Building will serve as the main service center. Libraries, town halls in the county's five towns, the five high schools and the community college will be linked by a computer network. People with home computers can access the programs via the Internet. The state is funding the program, which is being planned in counties throughout the state.
