JOB TRAINING EXPENSE INCENTIVES | PERRY COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF JOB AND FAMILY SERVICES

Perry County's OhioMeansJobs Center is your partner in finding a new job or getting the training needed for a better one. We know the best job opportunities for Perry County people, we can help you apply for these jobs and we can support you in growing in your new work or career. We know you may be challenged by barriers in returning to work, but it is our business to help you overcome them. If you lack the skills or training, we can help you acquire them. You can be eligible for up to $20,000 in job training courses or college learning support, depending on your situation. Don't leave this investment in your future on the table! It is our business to connect you to this funding. If the job you want starts off at lower wages, but it offers good salary growth over time, you could get from OhioMeansJobs a return-to-work incentive. Our return-to-work incentive pays you up to $3,000 over 18 months of new or current employment if you are working over 32 hours a week. Your dream job might be in Licking County or somewhere else that's a good drive away. Until your paychecks start coming and you can rebuild your bank account, you can take advantage of up to $800 in gas vouchers to cover the cost of getting to work over your first four months on the job. If you were to take advantage of both programs now, they'll help you get back to work by adding up to another $2.25 an hour to the pay of your new job. But you can look to us for more than just pay. Our OhioMeansJobs Center has countless tools and services to help you find the job you want. All the services provided are free and without obligation. Your Perry County OhioMeansJobs team helps provide everything a job seeker needs to be successful in their job search beginning with resume building, through completing applications (especially those online ones), high speed internet, and even copy and fax machines. Your biggest advantage in making this moment to be your time to return to work is your Perry County OhioMeansJobs team. Our Perry County people, working right from our Center in New Lexington, have ready for you the counseling, support and guidance you can trust and depend on.
