In-Demand Jobs Week is a state-wide initiative in Ohio designed to showcase the many career opportunities available to individuals across the state. During this week-long event, job seekers are encouraged to explore different industries and careers, learn about job training and education programs, and connect with local employers. The event aims to help job seekers make informed decisions about their career paths and connect them with employers looking to fill in-demand jobs.
One great resource for job seekers during In-Demand Jobs Week is Richland Works, a virtual career exploration platform showcasing 35 of Richland County’s unique employers. Richland Works is a collaborative effort between the Richland Area Chamber & Economic Development, Richland County Job and Family Services, and Ohio Means Jobs. The platform provides job seekers with a glimpse into the in-demand industries and careers available in Richland County, and it is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.
Richland Works is designed to be user-friendly, providing job seekers with an easy-to-navigate platform to explore different careers and employers. The platform includes information about each employer, including their industry, size, and location. Job seekers can watch videos of employees talking about their experiences and learn more about what it’s like to work at each company.
One of the unique features of Richland Works is its emphasis on the personal stories of employees. Job seekers can hear from employees about their career paths, what they enjoy about their jobs, and what skills they think are essential for success in their roles. These personal narratives provide valuable insights into the day-to-day realities of different careers, helping job seekers to make informed decisions about their career paths.
Richland Works is an excellent resource for job seekers during In-Demand Jobs Week and beyond. It provides a virtual career exploration experience that is both informative and engaging, and it showcases the many unique employers and career opportunities available in Richland County. Whether you’re just starting your career or looking to make a change, Richland Works is a great place to start exploring your options.
