The Laredo College Workforce Development Center is excited to be a designated site for a Workforce Virtual Station (WVS) at its South Campus thanks to a new partnership with Workforce Solutions for South Texas (WSST).
Located throughout the South Texas region, these WVS offer customers the opportunity to be connected via video with the Workforce Solutions for South Texas Laredo center staff to receive the assistance they need in real time.
This newest virtual station is located in the first floor of the Billy Hall Jr. Student Center at the Laredo College South Campus, 5500 Zapata Highway.
The station is equipped with a personal computer, camera, microphone, printer, scanner and headphones. Additionally, the station includes auxiliary aids and services for individuals with disabilities.
LC Workforce Development Center Director Denise Flores said she is excited to launch this initiative, which will make it easier for individuals looking to expand their skills, network with prospective employers and find career resources.
“Bridging the gap between Laredo College students and employers is a focal point of our center,” Flores said. “By joining forces with our friends from Workforce Solutions for South Texas, we are opening new doors of opportunity for LC students, alumni and community members looking for a way to connect with employer resources without the need to travel.”
With the introduction of this new virtual station, the community can now conveniently experience the same level of service and support as if they were physically present at the Workforce Solutions for South Texas facilities on Jacaman Road. The dedicated staff will be available to assist customers, answer their questions and provide the necessary guidance to ensure a seamless experience.
The WVS is designed to bring these services closer to the community, eliminating the need for long commutes or travel expenses. By establishing these convenient locations, Laredo College and Workforce Solutions for South Texas aim to make services more accessible to individuals across the tri-county area of Jim Hogg, Webb and Zapata.
The WVS was funded by the Innovation Grant awarded by the Texas Workforce Commission to WSST. With this funding, WSST looked for strategic locations throughout the community and partnered with various sites, including LC.
Workforce Solutions for South Texas offers a wide range of work-related services to help people find the jobs they need. Whether you are diving into the job market, want to explore training options or have any other inquiries, the workforce virtual stations are equipped to cater to your needs.
We encourage Laredo College students, alumni and any community member looking for employment or career development opportunities to take advantage of these workforce virtual stations and experience the convenience of accessing the services without the need to travel.
