Delaware County is a vast, isolated, and rural county with a lack of Public Transportation. Providing efficient and effective Employment and Training Services and resources, along with HSED Preparation classes is challenging.

In an effort to establish greater access to employment and training resources and HSED Preparation, CDO Workforce is re-establishing Career Center Satellite Offices in Margaretville, Hancock and Stamford, with focus on out-of-school youth (16–24-year olds).

CDO is partnering with local libraries in Margaretville, Stamford, and Hancock for use of their space at no cost to CDO. The Career Centers will be located at Public Libraries, (Stamford Village Library, the Margaretville Fairview Library, and the Hancock Louise Adelia Read Memorial Library) and will be staffed Monthly with a CDO Youth Employment and Training Counselor.

From these new locations, the Employment and Training Counselor will foster community partnerships with youth, local businesses, organizations, and leaders, which will be needed to establish consistent, visible, and accessible services in underserved communities. Appointments can be made with the Youth Counselor for times when it is most convenient for them to meet. Connections have been made with local HS Administration, specifically Guidance Counselors, to let them know our Library Schedule in case they have a referral. Flyers and posters have been provided for display as they see fit. Posters have been placed at the participating libraries and at some local establishments.

Our goal is to provide career development opportunities and HSED Preparation for youth in addition to continue providing established career services in Sidney and Delhi.
