Esta nueva instalación es administrada por UNIDAD/Centro Comunitario Hispano de MB y está ubicada en el corazón de South Beach, 833 6th Street 2do piso. El centro es fácilmente accesible y atiende aproximadamente a 12,165 usuarios por año. De hecho, durante sus 5 años de funcionamiento ha asistido casi 55,000 personas aproximadamente, con una amplia variedad de servicios que van desde colocación de empleo, entrenamiento para el mercado laboral actual, elaboración de resumés, reclamación de beneficios de desempleo, y todo lo relacionado a servicios de empleo.
El centro esta ubicado en el segundo piso del “South Shore Community Center” de la ciudad de Miami Beach, y fue diseñado |
por el famoso arquitecto Morris Lapidus, reconocido por su arquitectura moderna.
La remodelación del centro es un primer paso para la revitalización de este histórico edificio, rescatando un valioso recurso para la comunidad. El proyecto de remodelación está auspiciado por la Ciudad de Miami Beach y es dirigido por UNIDAD/Centro Comunitario Hispano de MB, cuidando de preservar el carácter histórico del diseño de Lapidus, al mismo tiempo que provee un centro con alta tecnología.
Cuenta con equipos para toda clase de usuarios, inclusive para minusvalidos, PC’s con acceso al Internet y programas para búsqueda de empleo; equipos de oficina tales como faxes, copiadoras, impresoras, scaners, etc.
El centro provee un confortable salón de conferencias para beneficio de los empleadores, donde se pueden llevar a cabo múltiples actividades desde entrevistas hasta ferias de trabajo, todo libre de costos. Por otra parte, el One-Stop cuenta con un personal altamente calificado quienes pueden ser una extensión del departamento de recursos humanos de los empleadores, suministrando candidatos precalificados y listos para trabajar. |
“Gracias a los fondos otorgados por South Florida Workforce
y la Ciudad de Miami Beach, el One-Stop Career Center puede ofrecer

Our initial employment program
.....In
1997, with a seed grant of $30,000 from the City’s Redevelopment Agency, matched by another $30,000 from the Miami Beach Housing Authority, UNIDAD/MBHCC launched our employment and career placement service. Our initial employment training and placement program linked many Hispanic and non-Hispanic residents with jobs in Miami Beach and County-wide businesses. The hard work of MBHCC staff and Board led to a successful program, which received ongoing funding from South Florida Workforce, and shortly after won the Title V Federal Funding for the Senior AIDES program through the National Senior Citizens Education and Research Center.
.....The new millennium finds MBHCC expanding our employment program to a full One-Stop Career Center in South Beach. This new service involves a creative partnership between UNIDAD/MBHCC, South Florida Workforce, and the City of Miami Beach. In November of 2000, the City of MB Commission voted to provide 5,000 square feet of rent-free space for ten years, at the South Shore Community Center for use by the One-Stop Career Center. Our programmatic success has attracted over one million dollars annually to help support job training and placement services for residents of Miami Beach and surrounding communities. |
