Employment Security To Combat Identity Crisis special 10 ineroai RALEIGH - The N.C. Employment Security Cmmission (ESC), popu larly known as Job Service, is trying to combat an identity crisis. Like most state employ ment agencies throughout the country, Job Service wants to shed its image as only “the unemployment office” - the place where out-of-work people get un employment compensa tion. The emphasis of the agency in recent years has been shifting toward a comprehensive job service, said J. B. Archer, chair man of the commission. “Unemployment insurance obviously is still among the commission’s major duties,” he said. “How ever, its relative impor tance may be partially due to the fact that other serv ices are being underused by the public which is un aware of them. We are trying to combat this pro blem with public informa tion." The ESC exhibit at the state fair, part of an eight state agency display en titled “In the Works,” is central to this information al effort. “In it we em phasize that Job Service matches job-seekers with employees, offers occupa tional testing and job orientation services, pro viues career counseling and referral services and coordinates special pro grams and representation for target groups with specific needs,” Archer said. The “In the Works" ex hibit was open and free of rKnrve to the nublic. “The exhibit indicated to em ployers that the agencies involved can provide them with skilled workers they need while it informs job seekers of the training and career opportunities avail able to them,” said Dollie L. Smith, coordinator of the exhibit ‘‘Despite the fact that many people believe that Job Service only writes and distributes unemployment insurance benefit checks,” Smith said, “nothing could be further from the truth. The ESC display shows how Job Service helps all kinds of people find jobs of au Kinds “Particularly since the inclusion of state job open ings in Job Service listings this year, there is just no organization in the private sector that is capable of competing with ESC,” Archer said.
