Who Are We?
The federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 provides the framework for
JOBsolutions employment resources. JOBsolutions (formerly Wyandot County Job & Training Center),
along with similar centers in Wood County and Hancock County in Northwest Ohio, exists to enhance
workforce preparation and grow area employment levels.
Our free services are designed to help area employers locate qualified candidates and to
provide access to training programs and information services necessary to remain competitive
in today's labor market. We also work to supply the region’s residents with the tools they need
to manage their careers.
The Wyandot County Workforce Policy Board was established to advise and assist in planning,
coordination, and monitoring of the Wyandot County Workforce Investment Act programs and
services. Board Members are appointed by the Wyandot County Board of Commissioners and
represent all facets of workforce development in the region including business, labor,
education, government, youth activities and consumers.
Working in partnership with the Wyandot County Board of Commissioners, the Workforce Policy
Board's primary focus is to:
- Assess the workforce needs of area employers
- Assess the employment and training needs of job seekers
- Identify fiscal and other resources in the community
- Develop priorities that include needs of local businesses, determining which populations
to serve, and how to best facilitate training needs in the region
- Ensure that individuals have access to core services including vocational assessments,
job matching and referrals for services
- Ensure that parameters are established for funding of training programs
- Locate and target resources necessary to meet the priorities
A “One-Stop” Solution
The Workforce Policy Board also provides oversight for JOBsolutions, which provides a central
point of access for employment, training, and related services provided by many area agencies
and service providers. Through this collaborative partnership, employers and job seekers can
access many services at one central location, a true “one-stop” solution!
