Metro North Career Centers

The Metro North Regional Employment Board charters two career centers to serve the 20-community Metro North region:

• Career Source in Cambridge and Everett (satellite), operated by Employment Resources, Inc.

• The Career Place in Woburn, operated by Middlesex Community College

Since their inception, the Metro North career centers have served over 159,000 job seekers, placing an average of 10,000+ in jobs per year, but with a drop to 7,800 for FY'09, reflecting the recession. The current average wage is $20.05. Our centers are currently serving about 1,300 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'09, the centers had the highest volume of customer visits (115,700) compared to other regions statewide, the second highest number of job placements, second highest average wage, and the second highest number of individual customers served (about 21,500). During the last eight years, the REB has conducted extensive customer satisfaction surveys, with an average of 82% of sampled customers rating the quality of services as “good” or “excellent.”
