County Executive Russell M. Pry Opens Employment Transition Center in Chrysler Stamping Plant

Summit County Executive Russell M. Pry opened a temporary employment transition center within the Chrysler Stamping Plant, located at 2000 Aurora Road in Twinsburg. The County of Summit Executive’s Office established the center as a way to begin assisting soon to be displaced auto workers in identifying future education, training, and employment opportunities.

Chrysler Stamping Plant employees may access the employment transition center on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 1 pm to 5:00 pm. During hours of operation, representatives from the Summit County Department of Job and Family Services, as well as agents from the State of Ohio and a regional collaborative of workforce investment partners, will be on hand to individually meet with the employees and link individuals to training, education, and employment opportunities.

Auto workers who access the employment transition center will also be encouraged to familiarize themselves with the services being offered at The Job Center at 1040 E. Tallmadge Avenue, Akron, Ohio and on Ohiomeansjobs.com .

Services are being funded through a U.S. Department of Labor National Emergency Grant (NEG) that supports innovative strategies that assist dislocated workers, and the communities in which they live and work, to recover economically from the effects of plan closures and mass layoffs.
