LEWISTON —The Lewiston CareerCenter, 5 Mollison Way, has earned Lewiston and Auburn’s Economic Achievement Award.

The award recognized that the CareerCenter provides “a critical service to both local employers and job seekers, diversifying, strengthening and growing our economy,” Lincoln Jeffers, assistant to the administrator of the city of Lewiston, wrote.

The award was presented at the Lewiston Auburn Economic Growth Council’s annual dinner May 22.

The Lewiston CareerCenter is one of 12 throughout the state. The CareerCenters form the statewide delivery network of the Bureau of Employment Services within the Maine Department of Labor.

The centers serve employers and job seekers and have specialists on-site to assist veterans, youth, people with disabilities and people who are unsure of how to reconnect with employers using new technologies.
