Ohio GeoClash & Festival to kick off in Seneca County
TIFFIN — Seneca County is hosting the 2023 Ohio GeoClash & Festival starting Wednesday through Sunday. The Ohio GeoClash & Festival is an annual event put on by the Ohio Geocaching Association in partnership with local communities throughout the state. Historically, the Ohio Geoclash & Festival draws in more than 500 geocachers into the host community throughout the week.
Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunt that uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) and online clues to help participants find caches or hidden containers. Destination Seneca County, in partnership with Geocachers Anonymous, launched the only geocaching trail in Northwest Ohio in September of 2021. Since the launch of the trail, more than 200 geocachers have completed the trail and have traveled more than 20,000 miles to Seneca County to do so.
The full schedule of events can be found at OhioGeoClash.com.
New features added to OhioMeansJobs website
COLUMBUS — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Lt. Gov. Jon Husted announced new user-friendly features to OhioMeansJobs.com, coordinated by InnovateOhio, the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation and the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. These new features take a faster, streamlined approach to connect unemployed Ohioans with jobs while helping employers identify new talent. The enhancements are the next phase to improve customer experience with OhioMeansJobs.com.
With the transition of “profiles” to “career hubs,” individuals will get more targeted help in their job searches. The resumes of veterans are designated with a red and blue “V,” and the resumes of military spouses are designated with a red and blue “S” to highlight them for military-friendly employers.
