Workforce Readiness Facilities

Facility use through Workforce Readiness

Jamestown Community College is not currently scheduling community rentals or community groups for usage of our campus until we can ensure the health and safety of our students and employees as we continue to work through the COVID-19 pandemic situation. We continue to look forward to be in a position of welcoming our public and community members back at the beginning of 2021. See more coronavirus updates »

Workforce Readiness provides accessible learning in three centers throughout western New York and one center in Warren, PA. Our centers in New York are also available for meetings, conferences, and company trainings. All facilities at JCC are smoke-free.

JCC is a Pearson Vue testing location. We allow the delivery of various certification exams through a secure and reliable testing environment at our New York centers. Pearson Vue is the world’s leading computer-based testing and assessment business; through their services, more than 14 million people each year have the opportunity to gain certification in the fields of information technology, education, business, and academics. Some test sponsors are Microsoft, CompTIA, Child Development Credential, and New York/Pennsylvania State teaching certifications.

Workforce Readiness is located in the Manufacturing Technology Institute on Jamestown Community College's Jamestown Campus. It also oversees the room rentals of the Carnahan Center.

The Carnahan Center has over 29,000 square feet of conference, training, and meeting space with computer labs, conference rooms, smart classrooms, multipurpose rooms, and a theater (also available as a smart classroom). Wi-Fi access is available upon request.

Each smart classroom and the theater is equipped with an instructor’s computer, ceiling mounted projectors connected to the instructor’s computer, overhead document cameras, microphones, and a sound system. The multipurpose rooms at the Katharine Jackson Carnahan Center are easy to customize for trainings, meetings, and small conferences. These two rooms can be combined for additional space and are also a great choice for personal events, such as family banquets, bridal showers, and baby showers.
