Rep. Baker Hosts Press Conference on Job Resouces in Cuyahoga County

Rep. Baker discussing the OhioMeansJobs website.


In late July, State Representative Nan Baker (R-Westlake) held a press conference in Cleveland at the OhioMeansJobs office for Cleveland-Cuyahoga County to raise awareness on job opportunities in various industries and the many resources that are available to jobseekers, including OhioMeansJobs.
   
Rep. Baker, along with fellow speakers, discussed the OhioMeansJobs website in detail, outlining its various functions.  They also spoke about the importance of continuing to involve the business community in the improvement of job search resources and keeping the discussion on employment opportunities for Ohio citizens a priority.
 
“It was exciting to raise awareness of all the job resources available to those that are wanting to explore their career options, find a job or improve their skills to further their employment opportunities,” Rep. Baker said. “Our message was clear: within a 20-mile radius of Cleveland, over 29,000 jobs are waiting to be filled. If you want a job, the OhioMeansJobs website, the OhioMeansJobs office, along with our Cleveland professional team ranging from manufacturing to workforce training, will turn that want into a reality. As I continue to say, 'It's All About Jobs!’ “
 
Rep. Baker has sponsored several pieces of legislation on the topic of employment in Ohio including House Bill 486, which is the workforce development component of the Mid-Biennium Review, House Bill 107, the Career Exploration Internship bill that brings high school students and business together, and also House Bill 393, which includes the branding of OhioMeansJobs on existing school publications and offers more information to high school students regarding career planning, job opportunities and the online education resources available to them.
