Employment Programs
Working in partnership with Athens County Job and Family Services, Perry County Job and Family Services and South Central Ohio Job & Family Services, HAPCAP works to enable and empower area youth and adults to achieve their educational and career goals in Athens, Perry and Hocking Counties. These programs include the Subsidized Employment Program in Athens County, the Next Step program in Hocking County, and the Work+ program in Perry County.
Each county operates their program a little differently but in general, the employment programs can help with the following services:
- Work experience opportunities including paid employment
- Setting education and employment goals
- Education and employment incentives
- Training and education opportunities
- Resume assistance
- Job search help
- Interview preparation
- Case management
- Developing and improving soft skills, such as professionalism and communication
- Life skills experiences, such as parenting groups, financial management, and healthy eating
- Leadership development opportunities
- GED/ Graduation Strategies
- Supportive Services including transportation, clothing and other assistance as needed
If you think Athens Subsidized Employment, Next Steps, or Work+ would be a good fit, then you will need to be determined eligible for the program. Participants must be at least 14 years of age and need to meet eligibility requirements for either Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funding.
If you are interested in one of these program, please e-mail us at info@hapcap.org, call 1.800.686.1093, or you can stop in and inquire at your local Ohio Means Jobs Center.
