The Ontario County Department of Workforce Development One-Stop Resource Room is a cooperative effort with partners in the Finger Lakes Works Workforce Development System in the four-county Finger Lakes region. We serve both job seekers and employers in programs supported by Title I of the Workforce Investment Act. The department also contracts with the Ontario County Department of Social Services to operate their employment programs.

The Resource Room is a self-directed service for people able to conduct their own job search. Staff assistance is limited, however more comprehensive services are available at the Finger Lakes Works Geneva One Stop Center located at 70 Elizabeth Blackwell St., Geneva.
