Show Clearfield Job Service opens office to assist veterans in Bountiful CLEARFIELD Clearfield Job Service will open Aug. 16 to assist veterans, using space in the Bountiful National Guard Armory in Bountiful. Veterans Services Coordinator Don Hess will be there Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m.-l p.m. with further information in-formation available by calling 773-8380 773-8380 or 531-9104 from Salt Lake County. "The office will serve any veterans veter-ans interested from Farmington south to the Salt Lake county line," says Don Hess, himself a veteran who has many years experience ex-perience in the Job Service system. Services include employment training and referral to appropriate support agencies, such as the Veterans' Administration or any government agencies who can provide pro-vide assistance." He emphasized "the bottom line is to get them gainfully employed and assist them in career selection or enhancing job-seeking skills to reach that goal." In conjunction with that, "a lot of job development" will take place as Mr. Hess works to cultivate culti-vate employment opportunities among South Davis businesses. "We want to get South Davis employers em-ployers actively involved, make them aware of the Veterans and thejr valuable skills." Operating the Bountiful office twice a week will lessen the need for veterans to travel either to Salt Lake City or Clearfield for Job Service Ser-vice service access.
