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 Staff

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 12 year history, CareerPoint has already 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 here.) CareerPoint is associated with a network of 32 full-service 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.
