While the groundhog looks ahead to the season, DARS helps individuals look ahead to their future careers through opportunities like job shadowing and work-based learning experiences.

Scammers often pretend to be government employees, especially during the holidays. They may claim you’re a victim of identity theft, say there is a problem with your Social Security number or benefits, threaten arrest, or promise to increase your benefits.

These tactics are meant to scare you.
