| OWD provides information and tools to Ohio's workforce system. We interpret federal and state law and serve as primary policy makers for workforce programs. The office administers federal programs that create a comprehensive statewide workforce system of employment services, hiring support, labor market information, and tax credits to employers and workers. We support Ohio's 20 Workforce Investment Boards in operating Ohio's One-Stop Centers. These centers offer customers a single location to access comprehensive employment and supportive services from many different federal, state, and local partners. We strive to ensure that the One-Stops provide customers with consistently high-quality services throughout the state. |

OWD also assists job seekers through maintaining Ohio Means Jobs, an online job matching system that brings both employers and job seekers to one easy-to-use website. We partner with the Ohio Board of Regents, Ohio Department of Development, the Governor’s Office and the U.S. Department of Labor. Working together, we can maximize our state and federal resources to advance our workforce and our economy.
