The Metro North Regional Employment Board charters two career centers, both operated by Middlesex Community College, to serve the 20-community Metro North region: Career Source in Cambridge and Chelsea, and The Career Place in Woburn.
Since their inception, the Metro North career centers have served over 198,000 job seekers, placing an average of 10,000+ in jobs per year. The current average wage is $23.08. Our centers are currently serving about 1,100 employer customers per year, listing thousands of job postings, and providing a variety of other employer services such as outplacement and on-site recruitment.
The Metro North Career Centers have been recognized for their
outstanding performance. In FY'12, the centers had the second highest
volume of customer visits (105,585) compared to other regions
statewide, the highest number of job placements, the second highest average wage, the third highest number of individual customers served, the second highest number of UI claimants (11,200), and the highest number of veterans (1,200). During the last 11 years, the REB has conducted extensive customer satisfaction surveys, with an average of 81% of sampled customers rating the quality of services as “good” or “excellent.”
