This place is the worst. They are clearly only there for paychecks. They want to force people into programs that they don’t need just for the grants. Even if you don’t need the program and you have a masters. They will not help you with at least trying to find other options. They people that work for career link is EDSI and to know that this is what this state is offering and not helping the people that worked and studied hard just trying to advance their careers and get no help. Our politicians really need to rethink this company and how they distribute resources to help everyone not just certain people.

Employees here are only here to get a paycheck They spend a lot of time performing very vindictive acts on the people who are there to find jobs as if their position with the state is some big accomplishment. They refuse to admit to their own mistakes which is a red flag for problems and then if you complain about them to an administrator they do things like refuse to admit you to info sessions if you are 30 seconds late or call you and give you an incorrect time or day for an appointment with one of the counselors, who then thinks you just are a no show, The old woman on the front desk is the most hostile employee of all and seems to be the "mastermind" behind all of the fun and games. My bet is she works for the state due to some type of mental impairment or emotional problem and was hired under the federal disabilities act. Whatever the reason she works there is irrelevant to the fact that she appears to do very little work with all the time she spends seeking "revenge" on strangers. This is a sick operation with no interest in you or your career. The first thing old lady says to you is are you on unemployment and then if you are she knows you have no escape from her insanity. I am not and can seek a job on their web sight without ever looking at them again. Sign up to the web sight and avoid the place if you can. All you are doing is helping them maintain their employment. It's doubtful you can find any job in there and the info sessions are useless. WASTE OF TIME
