• Career Readiness Guidance: Our staff is available to engage individuals in discussions about career readiness and planning services, helping them navigate their professional journeys.  OOD is especially interested in opportunities where we can bring hands-on career exploration experiences to those who are ready to take the next step.
  
  
• Accessible Meeting Locations: The unit offers two confidential offices to serve as a meeting space in areas with limited public transportation, making it easier for individuals to access vital resources.
  
  
• Work Incentives Consultation: Our OOD Work Incentives Consultants are available at hiring events to provide valuable information on how employment may affect an individual’s benefits and public assistance.
