Comprehensive, Case, Management Employment Program (CCMEP)


What is CCMEP?

Comprehensive Case Management and Employment Program (CCMEP) has been developed to help the emerging workforce prepare for and find meaningful employment, and to break the cycle of poverty for thousands of Ohioans.


To address this challenge, the state of Ohio has created a new framework for serving low-income Ohioans ages 16 to 24, through an integrated intervention program that combines the Temporary    Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program and the Workforce Innovation and  Opportunity Act (WIOA) Youth program. 

What does CCMEP mean for Perry County youth?

Designed to assist one of Ohio’s most vulnerable populations, CCMEP provides employment and training services to eligible, low-income individuals based on a comprehensive assessment of   employment and training needs, as well as a basic skills assessment.


Participants are provided services to support goals outlined in their individual opportunity plan, which may include:

  • Support to obtain a high school diploma
  • Job Placement
  • Work Experience
  • Other supportive services such as child care, transportation, and obtaining a Driver’s License
  • Leadership activities and financial literacy
