Director's Message

Kristen Cox Executive Director

Welcome to the Department of Workforce Services, “Utah’s Job Connection.” We appreciate your interest in workforce services and our site. We hope you find it both helpful and easy to use. It is one of our guiding principles that we provide the best, most accessible services we can. You could say excellent customer service is part of our culture. And, my vision is for customers to conduct as much business online with us as possible.

At the Department of Workforce Services, we have integrated our “clicks with bricks.” This site complements the services available in any of our dozens of one-stop Employment Centers spread throughout the state. That means we can help connect job seekers with the variety of services they need to be successful, including connecting them with thousands of current job openings that we maintain each day. Meanwhile, we offer employers a host of services, including access to Utah’s largest pool of qualified job seekers. You could say that, among other things, we have “jobs for people, and people for jobs.”

So have fun exploring our site. But, please remember: “Utah’s Job Connection” is here to help you. Thank you.
