There’s a full-court press to work at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

Operators of the Brooklyn Nets’ future home said yesterday they’ve already gotten 18,812 applications for 1,900 part-time and 100 full-time jobs that will become available in time for the center’s Sept. 28 opening.

Mayor Bloomberg praised arena developer Forest City Ratner and the city’s Small Business Services department for going “over and beyond” to attract Brooklyn residents — especially those at public-housing projects — as promised through job fairs and church visits.

Of the applicants, 15,688 — or 88 percent — reside in Brooklyn, and 8,929 — or 47 percent — live in public housing.

Arena operators, which began taking applications three weeks ago, will begin preliminary interviews Monday.

As the Post previously reported, the arena is bringing in Walt Disney Co.’s training arm, Disney Institute, to teach the new workers its secrets for providing top hospitality services.
