Employment Services is dedicated to helping our participants be successful in searching for and finding suitable employment. Participants receive training in job search techniques and learn about the local labor market in a class designed and given by Employment Coordinators (Bill Kiser and Robert Relyea). The Employment Coordinators are constantly in contact with many local businesses to identify hiring needs in and around Cumberland County. Along with our community partners, we conduct two job fairs each year, on the last Thursday of March and the last Thursday of September.
