  • The Work Opportunity Tax Credit program is still accepting applications. This resource provides a tax credit to employers for hiring individuals from certain targeted groups who have consistently faced significant barriers to employment. Read the FAQ, the instructions for completing forms, and learn how to submit an electronic application. Please call us at 610-270-3429 if you have any questions.
  • The January 2021 calendar of free online workshops is now available here. Sign up at www.pacareerlink.pa.gov

  • ONE WEEK LEFT TO REGISTER - Montgomery County residents who have become unemployed due to COVID-19 may be eligible to receive additional tuition waivers for Spring 2021 courses. Visit mc3.edu/MontcoRecovery for eligibility criteria and application information.

  • The 2020-2021 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program(LIHEAP) is now open! LIHEAP helps families living on low incomes pay their heating bills in the form of a cash grant. Households in immediate danger of being without heat can also qualify for crisis grants.  The cash grant is a one-time payment sent directly to the utility company/fuel provider to be credited on your bill. These grants range from $200 to $1,000 based on household size, income, and fuel type. Remember: This is a grant and does not have to be repaid. For more information on how to apply, please click here.

Operational Updates as of 11/30/2020

While our office is closed to onsite appointments, staff will still be providing remote services to dislocated workers and employers impacted by COVID-19. While we are unable to use our available funding to provide Needs Based Payments specific to the COVID-19 layoffs, we have the following available now:

  • General Unemployment Compensation claim guidance and support (we do not determine eligibility but can help answer questions)
  • Career Counseling
  • A full menu of online workshops 
  • Short-term online and in-person (where available) training programs
  • Support services which can include direct service referrals through our partnership with Community Connections, assistance with transportation (as needed), supplies/equipment needed for training or employment, and other supports needed to successfully complete their online training and enter employment (we are prepared to go as close to the edge of the box without going outside of it for support services).

Please call 610-270-3429 and follow the prompts based on your needs and a staff member will return your call as soon as possible.
