Jobs First Employment Services (JFES)

Connecticut’s Jobs First Employment Services (JFES) is a time limited program helps parents on Temporary Family Assistance (TFA) gain the skills needed to obtain meaningful employment and become independent of assistance. The program is administered by the Connecticut Department of Labor (DOL) in partnership with the Connecticut Department of Social Services (DSS) and the five Workforce Development Boards (WDBs).

The JFES program emphasizes a work first approach. Job search and both unsubsidized and subsidized employment activities are combined with education and training. Every participant is assigned to a case manager who provides one-on-one case management, assistance with applying for childcare subsidies and transportation needs, as well as referrals to a network of community support providers.

For any comments, questions or general information about the JFES program, please contact Cheryl Olmstead (203) 574-6971 ext. 459 or [email protected]
