A key public employment service facility is set to change its address in the near future, bringing adjustments to how residents access career support services. Starting June 15, 2026, the One Stop Employment Centre (OSEC) will operate from a temporary home at the Labour Department Headquarters, located at the intersection of Thames and Long Streets. The planned relocation was first announced to the public via an official statement released by the Labour Department this past Tuesday.
According to department representatives, the move is not a permanent rearrangement, but a required step to carry out much-needed structural and systems maintenance at OSEC’s current facility. The aging of the current building’s infrastructure has created a need for targeted upgrades that can only be completed safely if the centre’s daily operations are moved off-site. To ensure that the public does not face gaps in critical employment support, all of OSEC’s regular services will remain fully operational throughout the maintenance period, based out of the ground floor of the Labour Department’s central headquarters.
Throughout the duration of the temporary relocation, the Labour Department has advised all residents to direct all in-person visits and official correspondence to the new headquarters address. No walk-ins or mail will be accepted at the original OSEC location after the move takes effect next year. The department extended a formal apology for any disruptions or accessibility changes that the relocation may cause for service users, and expressed sincere gratitude to the public for their patience, cooperation and understanding as the necessary upgrade work proceeds. A timeline for OSEC’s return to its original location has not yet been released, with the department noting that further updates will be shared once maintenance is completed.
