Family & Workforce Development offers assistance with finding employment
as well as helping eligible individuals with Medicaid, food stamps, cash
assistance, and child care needs.
Needs that we are unable to fulfill within the Family & Workforce
Development Unit are referred to other available community resources.
It is the goal of the Family and Workforce Department to help each
family attain family stability.

Employment:
|
We are aware of what jobs are available in the
community.
Ohio Job Net
Online
is a website which not only allows the job seeker to search for
employment, but also supplies valuable employment information.
We can help you find employment if you are unemployed or find
higher paying employment if you are currently working.
We help schedule employment interviews, help job seekers complete
employment applications, complete resumes, and assist them in accessing the
Internet.
