Facing a Job Change? Anne Arundel Training and Career Support Available Now

November 9, 2026 by Admin

A new Maryland layoff notice is another reminder that job changes can happen quickly, but local workers do not have to navigate them alone.

A&G Management Company filed notice on November 3 of a mass layoff affecting 120 workers, effective January 3, 2027. The Maryland Department of Labor filing lists a Glen Burnie address and notes that the company provides services at 12 locations across Maryland. It does not specify how many affected employees work at each location.

Rather than simply focusing on the layoff number, the more useful question is: What can workers do next?

Job Training Is Available Now

Registration for winter 2027 job training at Anne Arundel Community College opened November 3.

AACC offers noncredit career training in areas including healthcare, technology, skilled trades, business, real estate, and apprenticeships. Many programs are designed to help people build practical skills or credentials without committing immediately to a degree.

For someone considering a career change, that can make retraining feel more manageable.

Free Career Resources Can Help Too

Anne Arundel Workforce Development Corporation also offers free resources for job seekers.

Its SkillUp program includes more than 7,000 online courses, and AAWDC provides information about Google Career Certificate scholarships and other career-development tools.

Maryland also provides services specifically for dislocated workers, including résumé help, job-search workshops, training information, job matching, and access to the Maryland Workforce Exchange. The state encourages workers to seek help before their final day on the job when possible.

The Local Market Is Mixed

Anne Arundel County’s unemployment rate was 3.6% in July, but average employment in the first quarter of 2026 was down 1,886 jobs from a year earlier. Education and health services gained jobs, while professional and business services declined.

That means opportunity is still out there, but workers may need to look across industries and consider new skills.
