Dear Partner:
Camden City is rich in community and faith-based services designed to help residents build their
educational and occupational skills, and to obtain employment. There are programs for adults and youth,
many of which provide an array of comprehensive programs and services. However, these programs
can’t help if people can’t find them; and people can’t make good choices if they don’t know their options.
Recognizing the need to connect City residents to the resources available in their community, Camden
City Initiatives, a committee of the Camden County Workforce Investment Board, has developed this
directory. This directory provides key information on many local organizations that can deliver the
necessary supports to achieve educational and career success, including:

Occupational Skills Training

Literacy services, including GED prep and English as a Second Language

Computer literacy training

Study skills development and support in doing homework

Case management and career counseling support

Services to address issues such as homelessness, substance abuse and domestic
violence
In introducing this directory, we are also pleased to highlight the two new Workforce Literacy Labs
recently opened in the City, located in the Cramer Hill and North Camden Community Centers. Through
these locations, as well as through the One-Stop Career Center at 2600 Mt. Ephraim Avenue, Camden
City residents can access literacy services and receive assistance in developing a career plan and
conducting a job search right in their own communities.
This Jobs Resource Directory is the result of months of hard work by the private and public sector
members of Camden City Initiatives, and we thank them for their support. We also thank UOSS-211.
If your organization is not listed in the directory, please complete the Workforce Services Provider Fact
Sheet and fax it to the WIB for inclusion in the directory on our website.
The Camden County Workforce Investment Board, its One-Stop Career Centers and Camden City
Initiatives Committee are proud to provide this directory to the City of Camden. We hope you’ll find it
useful for working with your customers and that its resources will lead to career and educational success.
Sincerely,
John J. Gallagher, Jr.
