Summit and Medina Counties Celebrate In-Demand Jobs Week May 3-7
The fourth annual In-Demand Jobs Week of Summit and Medina Counties, part of a statewide celebration of jobs, industries, and skills that are in-demand in Ohio, will be held May 3-7, 2021. Throughout the week, both Counties will host onsite recruitments for area employers from in-demand industries as well as a virtual information session for interested job seekers.
The daily events will primarily focus on the fields of information technology, manufacturing, healthcare, and other occupations determined to be in-demand locally, while also providing opportunities to learn about services available through the Summit and Medina OhioMeansJobs Centers, including workshops, career counseling, and training opportunities – all of which can be delivered virtually.
“As we slowly begin to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, Summit County residents are looking for good jobs and business are looking to hire strong candidates. In-Demand Jobs week is a special chance for job seekers and employers to find one another,” said Summit County Executive Ilene Shapiro. “I encourage residents to reach out to the OhioMeansJobs Center to learn more about in-demand jobs and local employment opportunities.”
