The Madera County Department of Social Services is currently recruiting public and private agencies in Madera County to participate in the CalWorks Employment Program (ESE).
The Madera County Department of Social Services has launched a new subsidized employment program. This program reimburses employers for the wages of newly hired employees from our program at varying levels during the first six months of employment. Once our agency signs a completed application with interested employers, after a successful applicant match, the wage subsidy program can commence as follows:
