Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genesee County is pleased to announce that the NY HELPS Program \u2013 Local has
been extended through June 30, 2028, continuing an initiative that streamlines the hiring process for
approved civil service positions.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This program allows eligible approved titles to be filled through non-competitive appointments,
meaning qualified candidates may be hired without first taking a civil service examination. Applicants
must still meet the minimum qualifications and any other requirements associated with the position.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program has been very successful for Genesee County and its municipalities, helping connect
qualified candidates with important public service positions while supporting local workforce needs and
the continued delivery of essential services.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through June 30, 2028, candidates hired for approved NY HELPS positions will not be required to
undergo civil service testing before appointment. This simplified process provides additional
opportunities for job seekers interested in serving their communities through local government
employment.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A list of approved NY HELPS titles is available at:
https:\/\/www.geneseeny.gov\/help-program<\/a>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genesee County encourages interested applicants to explore current employment opportunities and
learn more about positions eligible under the NY HELPS Program.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
