Employers
The Employment Services Unit (ESU) plays a critical role in the development of strategic relationships with employers and other community resources to ensure that the best jobs and wages are available to job seeker customers and to ensure employers have access to and hire the best candidates. Employment Consultants provide personalized service to employers and job seekers alike.
