About Workforce Development
History “The Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) reformed federal employment, training, adult education, and vocational rehabilitation programs by creating an integrated "one-stop" system of workforce investment and education services for adults, dislocated workers, and youth.” The Sandusky County Job Store, in partnership with 20 agencies, provides these services to employers and job seekers. The Job Store provides resources such as, books, DVD’s, and newspapers; job listings; area maps; interview tips; resume writing; copy and fax machines; internet access; telephones; workshops, and more to job seekers. Employers are offered similar services in addition to On-the-Job Training; Workshops; Recruiting and Hiring Assistance; Plant Closing, Lay-off Aversion, and Downsizing Assistance; Meeting Rooms; Tax Credit Information; Labor Market Information; Job Skills Testing, and Unemployment Insurance Information. In April 2014 due to the enactment of Ohio House Bill 1, The Job Stores’ name was changed to OhioMeansJobs-Sandusky County.
Our Mission: The Northcoast Jobs Connection utilizes the
partners’ combined resources in a timely, effective, and
efficient way to assist businesses in meeting their
workforce needs, and to assist job seekers in entering,
remaining, and progressing in the workplace.
Our Leadership
Under direction of the Area 7 Workforce Policy Board, our local policy board conducts quarterly meetings with representation from labor, business- small, medium and large- education, consumers and the mayor of the largest municipality to provide oversight for the One-Stop. This year the board officially decided to disband as a formal entity with the intention of forming a less formal group at a future date. The Board also assists in the following:
• Developing a business plan
• Developing the annual budget
• Developing program policy and operating procedures
• Selecting providers of training, youth activities, and intensive services
• Ensuring effective connecting, brokering, and coaching activities to assist employers
• Coordinating activities with Economic Development and employers

Program year 2013 brought a decrease in the dislocated worker WIA allocation and a cut in the adult allocation. However, with the Supplemental Rapid Response Grant we were able to assist dislocated workers in finding employment as well as providing the employer a reimbursement to help them cover the training costs. We were also able to transfer 75% of our dislocated worker funds to adults.

Youth
The purpose of the WIA Youth Program is to provide innovative year-round services for youth to help prepare them for successful entry into the workforce. Eligible youth include in and out-of-school, ages 14-21, who are low income and possess additional barriers to school completion and/or employment. The WIA Youth program is contracted to EHOVE Career Center for a one year period with a two year renewal option, contingent upon satisfactory performance and continued availability of funding. PY 12 was the second year of the current contract period.

Mass recruitments are tailored to the employer’s needs. We have 20-partner agencies in our One-Stop system that provides the manpower to staff these events. We can screen by job description, such as production worker, forklift driver, etc. We can also do a “preliminary” screening of applicants by asking screening questions to further filter the pool of applicants. We estimate that each job application costs an average of $100.
Job Skills Testing
The following employers utilized Kenexa ProveIT! tests and/or PESCO for potential hires:
• Carbo Forge
• Capital Aluminum and Glass
• Crown Battery
• Glatfelter
• Memorial Hospital
• Sandusky County Dept. of Job and Family Services
• Style Crest
• Whirlpool
• Windsor Mold- Precision and Autoplas
Kenexa Prove It! tests are content validated and focus on real-life scenarios and knowledge-based actions to assess the skill level of a particular skill set. Prove It! currently has many tests applicable for various job positions. Unlike criterion-based studies, Kenexa does not have one test that covers every aspect of the job position, but offers several tests that cover the diversity of skills for particular hiring needs. Employers can pick and choose those tests that cover the facets of the job description that are important to them. The important thing to note is that each of these must be actual skills used on the job. PESCO International tests are used to determine aptitude and abilities for potential WIA customers as well as potential new hires. Its purpose is to identify individual characteristics, education, training and placement needs which provides the individual with insight into his or her vocational potential.

Success Stories
Adult Kenyata moved here from Michigan to be closer to her children's father. They are not together but he helps take of their children. She last worked at a minimum wage job in Michigan. She was living off of her children's SS benefits. She was enrolled into the WIA-Adult program. Kenyata went to school at Brown Mackie College and recently received her LPN license. She received food assistance, medical and child care through the county while she attended school. Kenyata is now employed at Elmwood at the Springs in Green Springs. She is a LPN and is working 10 hour shifts three days per week and making $15.55 per hour. She is also receiving full benefits for her and her children.
Dislocated Worker William was a dislocated worker from Marko Demolition out of Genoa where he worked as a laborer for 17 months at which time he was laid off due to lack of work. His dislocation wage was $16/hr. We enrolled William into the WIA-DW program in January of 2013. He attended the CDL training program at Trainco and attended classes from 3-14-14/04-17-14. He received his CDL credential and certificate of completion from Trainco. He was then hired by Brush Wellman and started employment with them on 5-12-14 earning $20/hr with full benefits.
Out of School Youth
Zach entered our program as an out of school youth with learning disabilities,
was basic skills deficient and he required additional assistance. While in the
youth program, Zach gained study skills and the perseverance to successfully
complete the Firefighter I Program. Since exiting the program, Zach has
gained full-time employment at a local factory.
In School Youth
Jimmy entered the WIA program as an in-school youth facing serious
barriers and he was on the verge of dropping out of high school. While in the
program, Jimmy received one-on-one mentoring and he enrolled with
Townsend Community School and Vanguard's welding program. Jimmy
successfully earned his high school diploma and welding certificates. His
education and special skills helped Jimmy get two great jobs with local
factories in the area. Currently, he is working for a construction company
and is expanding his skills sets to include dry wall work.
