In-Demand Jobs Week event planned at OhioMeansJobs Career Center
In-Demand Jobs Week is the statewide celebration of the jobs, industries and skills that are in-demand in Ohio. Community leaders statewide are encouraged to partner in planning engaging events and activities that will inspire excitement and awareness among students and job seekers.
This year, In-Demand Jobs Week will highlight Ohio’s top jobs that stem from career tech center educations and the different paths Ohioans can take to land a successful career.
The Workforce & Business Development Program (W&B) and OhioMeansJobs Pike County (OMJ) at the Community Action Committee of Pike County (CAC) will be hosting In-Demand Job Day on Friday, May 5 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the OhioMeansJobs Career Center (941 Market Street in Piketon).
To support the job seekers in the area with trade skills, staff members will be available to share information about the in-demand jobs from local businesses. Jobs seekers are welcome to utilize the Career Center for updating résumés and applying for available jobs online. Information will be available for all of the services that the Workforce & Business Development Program offer.
In addition to applying for available jobs, the In-Demand Jobs Event will highlight many of the opportunities available through the OhioMeansJobs Pike County Career Center:
