The Workforce Development Department at Fairfield County Job &
Family Services is dedicated to helping job seekers find good jobs
and employers find qualified candidates. The goal of connecting
employers is met largely in part by the services available in
WorkNet. If job seekers are not able to find gainful employment by
only using WorkNet, they can meet individually with one of our
staff to discuss their individual needs that may include training.
WorkNet
Employer services include FREE job posting, interview scheduling,
application and resume pre-screening, and more! Employers who
would like additional details regarding our services, more
information about Tax Credits, or Customized and On-The-Job
Training opportunities are encouraged to speak with our
experienced staff members.
Rapid
Response Services
When
local workers are laid off due to a business closing or
downsizing, the Workforce Development staff must be ready to act
on very short notice. The term Rapid Response is used to describe
the quick action that is taken to provide services to these
"dislocated workers".
Workforce
Development staff work with the employers to schedule times when
information can be shared with the workers. The information that
is shared includes instructions for filing unemployment, services
available to quickly re-enter the workforce, requirements for
accessing occupational training dollars, etc.
In
addition to all of the services available to ALL job seekers,
dislocated workers may be eligible for programs specifically
designed to assist people who have been laid off or those who have
been laid off due to international trade (jobs have gone
overseas).
Part
of the One-Stop
What is a One-Stop?
“One-Stop” is the term used to describe the partnership of
government and non-profit agencies who share the primary goal of
helping people obtain gainful employment. Each of the partnering
agencies serves a different population and administers different
programs but they all revolve around the common focus of
employment.
Every county in
Ohio has its own one-stop although they are all called by
different names. Usually there is some association with the
county’s Job & Family Services agency so they should be able to
refer you to the one-stop location.
In Fairfield
County, the one-stop is located inside the Fairfield County Job
& Family Services building at 239 W. Main St. in Lancaster.
