Community Assistance Programs

Federal employees, including those working for the Internal Revenue Service, represent a large constituent of the workforce in our community and play a crucial role in both our local economy and daily lives. As we continue to hear varying information regarding potential layoffs, Ogden City along with vital community resource providers are closely monitoring developments and remains committed to scaling our response as needed. 

To proactively support affected individuals, we have collaborated with organizations such as Ogden-Weber Technical College and the Department of Workforce Services to develop strategies that will help people regain employment stability. For those considering a career shift or skill enhancement, we are also working to provide resources for education and workforce training.
