THE HUB: MAY 2019
The OCO workforce development SCORE (Support Collaboration Opportunities
Resources Education/Employment) program is designed to increase access to services
for individuals experiencing unemployment, underemployment and those seeking workforce development services through both a fixed community HUB of providers
that is located in Oswego at Midtown Plaza, as well as a mobile community HUB that
will be in the outlying areas of the county. Our ultimate goal is to remove the barriers
that many people face when trying to obtain or maintain employment with the end
result being self-sustainability.
