COLUMBUS — September is National Workforce Development Month, and Gov. Mike DeWine, Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel and Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Director Matt Damschroder are reminding Ohioans that many free employment services are available at OhioMeansJobs.com and at local OhioMeansJobs Centers statewide.

“Through OhioMeansJobs.com and our local OhioMeansJobs Centers, we have many resources to help Ohioans find a great job so they can reach their full potential and achieve their version of the American dream,” DeWine said.

“As more businesses continue to move into Ohio or expand here, the momentum we’re building is incredible — but we’re just getting started,” Tressel added. “Our next step is to connect Ohioans with careers in high-demand fields like advanced manufacturing, healthcare, technology, skilled trades, and more. Success takes teamwork, and as a state, we’re working to make sure every Ohioan is ready to take advantage of the opportunities coming our way.”

Every county in Ohio has an OhioMeansJobs Center. These centers, along with OhioMeansJobs.com, offer a comprehensive suite of services for both job seekers and employers across Ohio.

For employers, OhioMeansJobs offers free job postings, candidate search tools, recruitment assistance, and access to labor market data to support hiring decisions.

“Most services are free, and they’re available to all Ohioans,” Damschroder said.

OhioMeansJobs Centers have free public computers and phones that individuals can use to write a resume, complete online training, and look for jobs. All centers offer information about local career fairs, referrals to local service providers, and training opportunities. Centers also offer workshops on topics such as basic computer skills, resume writing, and interviewing.
