OESC exists to help build a robust and thriving business community for employers of all kinds. We’re here to attract, inspire, and support businesses big and small. Explore the following resources available to all of our valued employers.

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit program offers a tax credit incentive to hire individuals in certain target groups.
The Federal Bonding Program provides individual fidelity bonds (at no cost) to employers for job applicants who are deemed unbondable by commercial carriers.
