Thank you to everyone who attended and made the Inclusive Hiring Program Seminar at Concordance Healthcare Solutions possible!

We were able to learn about the inclusive hiring partnership between Concordance Healthcare Solutions and the Seneca County Opportunity Center. This partnership was launched in 2017 and focuses on hiring individuals with developmental disabilities. Concordance Healthcare Solutions currently employs seven individuals with disabilities, which is the most of any employer in Seneca County.

Concordance Healthcare Solutions utilizes support services from the Seneca County Opportunity Center such as job coaches, case management, and other resources to help individuals stay happily employed.

Around the Town Returns to Downtown Tiffin

The Around the Town event hosted by the Seneca Regional Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Heidelberg University and Tiffin University will take in Downtown Tiffin on August 20 at 2:30 PM. The Around the Town event gives incoming and returning students the opportunity to become familiar with the businesses and organizations that make up Seneca County. In previous years, nonprofit organizations have been successful in recruiting volunteers from the universities at this event.

During the event, registered businesses and organizations set up a booth to showcase their products and services to the university students. The students, along with campus leaders, walk to the event from their respective campuses.

Organizations are asked to sign up online at here.
