Mobile American Job Center (AJC) The mission of the Mobile American Job Center (AJC) is to provide employment resources and one-on-one assistance to all Tennesseans, especially those in rural areas who do not have access to brick-and-mortar AJCs. Clients with barriers to employment are frequently unemployed, underemployed, skills-deficient, and/or have a lack of transportation, among other barriers. Lack of transportation or not having a brick-and-mortar AJC close to where clients live can be barriers to employment and access to supportive services provided by the workforce system. For those who lack computer skills, access to employment services is vital. Mobile AJCs provide a solution to these issues by bringing workforce services to the public. Mobile AJCs are staffed by Wagner-Peyser and partner programs staff. Any service that is provided in brick-and-mortar is also provided on the Mobile AJC. Mobile AJC staff reaches out to common organizations found in every community to provide employment services, including homeless shelters, public housing, prisons, faith-based organizations, Department of Human Services (DHS) offices, YWCAs and YMCAs, local food banks, and senior citizen facilities.
Employer Resources Mobile AJCs support employers who are opening a new facility or seeking employees. Mobile AJCs also provide services to assist employers and employees in the event of a business closure or layoff. Tennesseans can file for their unemployment benefits online through a Mobile AJC. The Mobile AJCs support recruitment and provide access to job seekers who may need assistance with an online application, updating their resume, or interview tips. Mobile AJCs help Tennesseans and employers across the state at all stages of the workforce development continuum.
