Dear Neighbor,
Happy Friday! I hope you've been staying warm in this frigid weaher. Below, you can read about Connecticut's severe cold weather protocol, an upcoming legislative town hall, and more. You can click on the links below to navigate between sections.
 
Severe Cold Weather Protocol

With brutally cold temperatures impacting Connecticut, the state’s severe cold weather protocol has been activated through noon on Monday, January 22, 2024. Shelters and warming centers are available. Anyone in need of shelter is strongly urged to call 2-1-1 to get connected to these resources.
 
Pre-Session Legislative Town Hall
On Wednesday, Jan. 31 from 5:30-7pm, I will join the New London and Groton delegation for a pre-session legislative town hall at the Public Library of New London (63 Huntington St, New London). We will highlight past bills, discuss the upcoming legislative session, and talk about our legislative priorities and yours. I hope to see you there!
 
Jobs.ct.gov

Connecticut has launched its new jobs portal, jobs.ct.gov, which is aimed at assisting state residents — and those seeking to move here — in the process of finding a job.

Jobs.ct.gov joins health.ct.gov and business.ct.gov as the next service category in Connecticut's ongoing journey toward an all-digital state government that streamlines and improves access to services and resources. Some of the resources available through jobs.ct.gov include:

  • Powerful job search tools
  • Job search tips and personal help
  • Free and low-cost training, certificate, and classroom programs
  • Resources to help employers hire, train, and retain employees

All of the resources are Connecticut-specific and focus on connecting jobseekers with the variety of employment and workforce development opportunities.

The strong and steady statewide economy continues to add jobs, but employers in some industries still face workforce shortages, and jobs.ct.gov will be a valuable resource to them. This portal also importantly provides employers with information to reach greater numbers of skilled jobseekers from diverse backgrounds, which is critical to a more equitable Connecticut economy.
 
Connnecticut Baby Bonds

We’re building a brighter future for Connecticut children born into poverty. In just six months, the first-in-the-nation Connecticut Baby Bonds program has put more than 7,000 working families on a pathway to the middle class and is transforming the future of our state.

 
If you have any additional questions, comments, or concerns, I can be reached by phone at 1-800-842-8267 or by email at Christine.Conley@cga.ct.gov. For legislative updates, please like my Official Facebook Page.

Sincerely,

Christine Conley
