About the Job Information Center

The Job Information Center started as a unit of the General Reference and Advisory Services Department in the Mid Manhattan Library in 1975.

It functions as an important Community Outreach unit in providing information to all populations on all aspects of career development which include:

  • Self-exploration
  • Career choice
  • Job readiness
  • Job search
  • Career management
  • Career change
  • The world of work

Career development is a life-long process.  It begins from birth and ends at death.
