The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce's Oct. 22 employee update lists several time-sensitive items. Employees are encouraged to support the Combined Charitable Campaign through Oct. 23 and Pink Out October, tied to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, through the end of the month. Because the draft is dated Oct. 23, those campaign dates should be treated as ending that day rather than as future events.
The Department's web series features school communities that are using the Grow Ohio Grant to create opportunities for students. The update gives no additional program details or links.
Flexible Spending Account enrollment ends Friday, Oct. 23. The notice states that enrollment is not automatic and that team members must sign up every year. Employees who have not enrolled should treat the date as a deadline.
The Ohio Department of Administrative Services has introduced an enhanced online platform for people seeking State of Ohio jobs. The item does not describe the platform's features.
The American Red Cross plans a blood drive at 25 S. Front St. on Tuesday, Oct. 27. Registration is open. The update does not include a registration link or hours.
The Department also directs employees to its Facebook, X, Instagram and LinkedIn accounts for updates.
