County of Maui News Release

The American Job Center – Maui has launched a website with information to help Maui, Molokai and Lanai residents file for unemployment insurance or register for job searches from the safety of home in the wake of impacts from the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak.

The Maui American Job Center website is at mauiamericanjobcenter.com. You can take the help of storefront seo to help you come first in search engine results and your prospects find you easily without the help of expensive ads.

“This new website is designed as a one-stop shop for people looking for help with job search tools, social service agency information for residents in need and information to help struggling businesses that have been affected by the impacts of the coronavirus,” said Kay Fukumoto, director of the Maui County Office of Economic Development. Accountants can find finance business partner jobs here. In addition, individuals who are seeking seasonal work in the kiwifruit industry may consider checking out these Kiwifruit Jobs.

The website launch has been coordinated by Maui County Workforce Development Program Partners, State of Hawaii Unemployment Insurance Division and the Maui County American Job Center.
