The One Stop Cooperative Computer Lab
The One Stop Cooperative Computer Lab is located in the Workforce Development One Stop Career Center. The purpose of the lab is to maximize the employability of job seekers in a market that requires some computer knowledge in nearly all jobs. Individuals may receive assistance with resumes, cover letters, and on-line applications, take classes or tutorials to learn basic computer skills, and practice skills such as typing and data entry. Many of the tutorials are available in both English and Spanish. Classes currently available include Introduction to Computers, Basic Internet Job Search, Resumes and Cover Letters, and Basic Microsoft Word. Open lab hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

New Americans Employment Resources Program
In cooperation with other Lincoln community organizations, Goodwill Industries Serving Southeast Nebraska, Inc. provides support to local immigrants and refugees who are seeking employment opportunities. These individuals are willing, able, and often highly skilled workers who face obstacles in finding appropriate employment due to language and cultural barriers. Services available to immigrants and refugees include: assisted job search, volunteer and work experience, and work services. Goodwill Industries also provides support to employers and potential employers who hire or are considering hiring individuals from this population and are concerned about difficulties that may occur as a result of language and cultural differences. These services include: candidate screening, translation and interpretation, job skills training programs, and immigration paperwork assistance. All services are provided at no cost to the job seeker or employer.
