The Career Center serves our community as a catalyst for the development of a career-resilient, self-reliant workforce.

Established in 2004 by the East Baton Rouge Parish Library with a grant from the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, the Lamar and Reilly Family Foundations, and the Junior League of Baton Rouge, the Career Center serves employees who are being terminated, those seeking new skills and responsibilities, those just entering the workforce, and those looking to change careers.

The Career Center is not an employment agency or a job training agency. It is a free public service offering trained and professional help and extensive resources to identify your needs while planning a career path and conducting your job search.
