Job Services

There are various job services available through the Columbiana County Department of Job and Family Services (CCDJFS). We collaborate with community partners to offer job seekers, workers and employers a full range of employment-related services. All of these services are designed to help individuals and businesses realize economic success, with a workforce equipped with the skills employers need.

Ohio Works First

Ohio Works First (OWF) is a financial assistance program providing cash benefits to needy families with a minor child for up to 36 months. Individuals are required to participate in a work activity to enhance their employment skills. Work activities could include education, job skill training, or basic job experience skills. After the 36-month lime limit, cash assistance is not available unless the CCDJFS approves a hardship or good cause extension. For child-only cases, there are no time limits for cash assistance. To learn more about OWF please visit the Ohio Works First page.
