THE EMPLOYMENT SOURCE
The Employment Source is a workforce development and job training one-stop center that offers assistance to both job seekers and employers. The Employment Source is a service made possible through funds provided by the U.S. Department of Labor and implemented locally by the Workforce Investment Board, The Tuscarawas and Stark County Commissioners and the Mayor of the City of Canton, Ohio.
The Employment Source takes an active role in working with local economic development and chambers of commerce for business attraction, retention and expansion efforts in both Tuscarawas and Stark counties. We offer employers many incentives that include recruiting qualified job seekers, screening and referral, listing job openings on a state-wide database, meeting affirmative action and federal contractor requirements, maximizing work opportunity tax credits, free advertising and recruiting professionals both locally and nationwide.
Our On-The-Job Training Program operates on the premise that employers make the best trainers for the jobs specific to their industry, and provide the best training sites – the place where the job will be performed. It aids employers in defraying up to 50% of the wages paid to an employee during the training period.
JobFit is an online assessment tool designed to help employers hire and retain employees, resulting in new hires that fit the environment and culture of an organization and are the best fit for the job.
Our Incumbent Worker Training Program supports training projects that benefit local businesses by assisting with the skill development of existing employees. This program increases employee productivity and company growth, and 50% of the training cost can be covered.
Our Internship Program provides employers the opportunity to customize their workforce by helping talented individuals receive work experience that could result in a full-time job. The Employment Source has a central location where employers and potential interns can find each other through the online location www.eswork.com.
