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).
