All 11 WorkOne Northeast career centers will be closed to the public indefinitely, effective March 24.

The actions are designed to protect WorkOne customers, staff members, their families and the community at large as the region and nation tackle COVID-19.

People must file for unemployment benefits online by computer, tablet or smartphone at www.unemployment.in.gov . The site also contains unemployment information for employers.

People can search for jobs online at www.indianacareerconnect.com . Selected jobs will also be posted on the WorkOne Northeast Facebook page. People can leave voicemail messages at center numbers and staff will return those calls. Because of the high volume of calls, a return call may take longer than usual.

The phone numbers for the centers follow: Angola, 260.624.2004; Auburn, 260.925.0124; Fort Wayne, 260.745.3555; Kendallville, 260.599.1000; LaGrange, 260.499.4835

Northeast Indiana Works, which oversees the region’s WorkOne centers, will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates regarding the status of the centers at www.neinworks.org.
