One of our core beliefs at the BCC is that job seekers should use as many resources as are available to them. In this spirit of collaboration, we keep in touch with many other not for profit and government career centers, local networking groups and job ministries at local religious organizations. We encourage you to explore these resources and take advantage of any or all of them.
