New! Brown Bag Seminars

Many employees struggle with issues around child care, child rearing, elder care, and college planning. Now, the Department of Human Resources offers a new service to help with these concerns. Starting in late February, professional consultants from Carebridge will be at Jefferson to teach seminars on a wide variety of work-life issues. During these sessions, employees will have a chance to learn from the experts, get valuable information and learn about community resources.

Each topic will be offered twice to accommodate employees' varying lunch schedules. To register, please call Carebridge at 1-800-437-0911. The seminars are scheduled:
