Updates to the Northwest TN American Job Centers regarding Coronavirus
In light of recent events and following the lead of federal and state leadership, the Northwest American Job Centers (AJCs) ask that the public please limit visits to the AJCs. While we request that public access be limited, the AJCs do not foresee any disruption in services. Assistance is available by phone and online at www.Jobs4TN.gov. Contact information for each AJC may be found on our website at https://www.nwtnjobs.org/locations.

► Avoid close contact with those who are sick,
► Don’t touch your eyes, mouth or nose, especially with unwashed hands,
