H.E.L.P. Program
The New York State Department of Civil Service announced Clinton County has been approved for its Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement (HELP) Program. The HELP Program temporarily eliminates the civil service testing component for certain positions for the duration of the program. The goal is to increase candidate applications by alleviating concerns about test-taking. Qualifying job titles will be classified as non-competitive and categorized as “HELP Program” positions. At the close of the program, the positions will revert to competitive status; however, an exam will not be required. Be thorough in explaining your experience or education and in demonstrating your qualifications. Please check the job openings page for current vacancies.
