The Open DOHR program serves individuals who are unemployed, underemployed, or lacking the necessary skills to compete in today’s job market.
Who Is Eligible?
We currently serve individuals living in the south central region of CT specifically those who live in Meriden, Middletown, Wallingford, Middlefield, and the several other towns in both Middlesex and New Haven Counties.
Our occupational skills training primarily serves individuals who are either receiving cash assistance or are eligible through the WIA out of school youth (18-21) program. If you receive cash assistance a referral is needed from your Jobs First Employment Specialist.
*Employers: Open DOHR is always seeking new connections within the local business community. We provide qualified candidates to local employers and can custom design training programs to meet an employers' specific needs. We also encourage local businesses to participate as guest speakers and presenters.
