jli1 ife-ai kfW mm. 'ynrr away Mfr? i CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING 1 IN THIS section ML MJ 1 Thursday, October 18, 1990 in i hi pp" I One-stop jobs service With yesterday's opening of the Garment District Community Service Center, State Labor Department Commissioner Thomas Hartnett saw a dream come true for the 19th time, with 17 more dreams-come-true to go. The remodeled and redesigned center, at 238 W. 35th provides one-stop service for unemployed workers. They can file for unemployment benefits, get job leads, counseling, help in writing resumes or, if needed, apply for more training all by talking to one person, rather than a host of bureaucrats.

That's what Hartnett wanted. His dream for multiservice centers came during the "70s, Hartnett said, when he was a New York Telephone craft worker on strike. "I went to an unemployment office on Jerome Ave. in the Bronx," Harnett recalled. "If you've ever been in one of those offices, you know they've all got ten kinds of furniture and if you deviate one iota from procedures, you have to go to another line and speak to another specialist" Hartnett said the Labor Department has overhauled 19 offices statewide.

"It's much more efficient The clients feel better and the employers feel better. Employers are encouraged to list jobs and recruit in the community-based centers. There is one other center in Manhattan, on 20th St at Sixth and another in the Bronx. Hartnett says that during the next four years, the State Labor Department hopes to create 17 more community centers. Nick Unger of the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union was among leaders attending yesterday's ribbon-cutting ceremony who said the centers were a good idea.

"I'm not used to saying good things about the Labor Department in public. I'll have to force myself," Unger said, praising the effort to "help hardworking, honest, decent people who are making clothes for other hardworking, honest, decent people." Although located in the Garment District the center is open to anyone, manager Max Golodner said. The center offers placement services for administrative assistants, computer programmers, accountants, engineers, architects and other professionals. It features Jobs Plus, a computerized listing of professional jobs available statewide. Users simply touch the screen for job listings.

Printouts are available. "It's very good," said Jesus Guevara of Brooklyn, who was looking for a job in computer services. Hartnett said the Labor Department was also planning to put the computers in shopping centers. The 35th St Center also has a kiddie corner so that children can play while waiting for their parents. Center hours are from 8:30 a.m.

to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and until 7 p.m. on Thursday.
