Who We Are
Since 1996, CareerPoint has been serving the workforce and economic development needs of individual job seekers, social service agencies, and the business community throughout Hampden County and beyond. Chartered through the Regional Employment Board, CareerPoint specializes in exceptional customer service, innovative programming, creative problem solving, and an entrepreneurial “can do” attitude. CareerPoint transforms the maze of complex, bureaucratic Employment and Training Programs into one seamless service delivery system for job seeking and employer customers alike. And we keep our sense of humor while we do it!
CareerPoint is not a staffing agency nor are we a recruiter. We are a private,
stand-alone, not-for-profit corporation fueled by a combination
of federal, state and private funds. Working closely with
many community partners, CareerPoint strives to represent
the best the career center system has to offer. In our 14
year history, CareerPoint has won two national awards,
including the One-Stop Career Center of the Year award from
the National Alliance of Business and The Career Center/ Community
College Collaboration award from the National Association
of Community Colleges. (You can see a full list of the many
awards our center and individual staff have won by clicking

CareerPoint is associated with a network of 37
one-stop career centers in Massachusetts.
Our Mission
Our mission is to develop a strong workforce system by enhancing the competitive strength of companies, improving the skills of employees and jobseekers, and expanding career opportunities through economic development.
