Employment Service: Registering in Indiana Career Connect allows you to match your education, skills, and wage requirements with job orders we receive from employers in Indiana and nearby counties in Ohio.  You need not be unemployed to use this service at no cost to you.  Many registrants maintain active matching status to search for a better job.

Unemployment Insurance: Application for unemployment benefits provided through covered employers is available over the Internet at home,  library or wherever Internet access is available.
