Here’s the report for the week ending Friday, Sept. 5:
At the Workforce Hub:
Even with a short week due to the holiday weekend, the Hub received 184 visits (as of Thursday) from people seeking help with job searches, enhancing interview skills, and resume building. Nearly 100 of those visits came on Tuesday. This does not count visits at the Pike, Vinton, or Jackson OMJ centers. Displaced workers in those counties may choose to visit their local OMJ center rather than go to the Hub.
As of Monday, the Hub will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays for the remaining weeks in September.
Visits to SVF went up 8%, unique visitors saw a 6% increase, and total page views went up 17% since Aug. 24. The past three days on SciotoValleyForward.com were the most visited days since the June 9 launch.
