Dislocated Workers

MATCHING QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES
WITH QUALITY EMPLOYERS

Are you unemployed or "in between opportunities" and seeking a real person to talk to? Does your company need an employment agency that doesn't have a lot of excess paperwork and wait time like other agencies? If so, you've come to the right place.

No fees
Unlike other employment agencies, we also don't charge any fees - whether you're an employer or an applicant. That's a key advantage that you won't find just anywhere.

We cut the red tape
When you're unemployed, the last thing you want to do is spend weeks nervously waiting for your training plan to be approved or a support services check to be issued. At Quality Career Services, we cut through the "red tape" to provide you with career counseling, job training and retraining services.

One-on-one approach

  • Senior Community Service Employment Program

History of organization
Quality Career Services was incorporated in 1985 as the UAW Local 41 Dislocated Worker Program. Quality Career Services was founded by 200 workers who had been laid off with two hours notice from the Donaldson Company when it closed its Eagan manufacturing facility. With technical assistance from Minnesota AFL-CIO and the State Rapid Response, they submitted a proposal to the state to serve the dislocated workers in a portable classroom on the campus of St. Paul Technical College. In 2003, Quality Career Services moved to more spacious quarters at the present location on Wabash Avenue in St. Paul.
