It is a one stop shop, aiming to make life easier for people seeking information, education, housing, and employment opportunities.
Experienced advisers will aim to identify a personal path for each client according to their skills, experience and needs.
This could be a paid job or a community or voluntary post to build confidence prior to searching for paid employment.
The Un Sir Gar Hub will also visit various locations around Carmarthenshire, on a monthly basis, from the summer. Details will be publicised shortly.
The project is supported by key partners including Job Centre Plus, Coleg Sir Gar, Careers Wales and Carmarthenshire County Council, who share the ambition to provide a unique, seamless approach to supporting people with learning and employment needs.
Council Leader Cllr Kevin Madge said: “Un Sir Gar is part of our commitment to helping people get back into work, education or training.
“The new Hub in Llanelli town centre will be easily accessible and experienced staff will be able to offer the help and support needed, whether people are looking for employment, work experience or retraining.”

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell the guest speaker at Llanelli Rotary Club

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of Llanelli Rotary Club held at the Stradey Park Hotel. Mr Wardell gave an illuminating address, weaving comparisons between his job as a politician and his late father's job as a Tumble barber. It was an amusing, highly-entertaining and thought-provoking address. Mr Wardell, now 69, won the Gower constituency seat in a Parliamentary by-election in 1982. The Labour MP held the seat until his retirement in 1997. He now works as a public affairs consultant in Wales. Mr Wardell's Parliamentary term was largely in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government. But his did make a significant contribution by being the youngest MP to chair the Welsh Affairs Select Committee. Mr Wardell recognised that in the 'fame stakes' he may have played second fiddle to his father, Jack, who was one of the UK's oldest barbers and who cut and styled hair for almost 80 years. Jac

Ammanford-based Lauryn Davey is making a major mark in the world of Welsh athletics. At just 16, she is the best all-round athlete of her age in Wales. She's chalking up Welsh championship victories and has been honoured by her club, the Carmarthen Harriers. Lauryn's been earmarked as a future international star, but knows the road to the big championships is difficult, demanding and expensive.
