Area workforce development centers and job centers offer assistance worth checking out, most of which is free or low-cost. For example, the Waukesha County Workforce Development Center in Pewaukee, Wisconsin features the following:
- 14 workshops related to job search and career development;
- job information and career development centers;
- access to Workforce Investment Act services, which includes training funds for laid-off workers and low-income populations;
- economic assistance programs.

The Milwaukee Hire Center provides retraining and re-employment services specifically for dislocated workers in Milwaukee County. Further information can be found at http://www.milwaukeelabor.org/about_us/hire_center.cfm.
In addition to practical resources, these centers also provide a supportive environment and new opportunities for networking.
