DEEP and local agencies are working to contain several active fires across the state. Please avoid all affected State Parks and Forests, as well as the blue-blazed Mattabesett Trail. The Enduro Trail in Voluntown and portions of North Stonington within the Pachaug State Forest are closed at this time. Please note that today's forest fire danger report remains at an 'extreme' level. More information about the current fire danger, burn ban and recommended safety measures can be found here

The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) and other CT State Agencies have transitioned to a paperless Online Employment Center.

You can now efficiently search and apply for current job openings on-line via a mobile-friendly website, and receive e-mail notices about the status of each application. Mailed or faxed job applications will no longer be accepted. Additionally, the new system no longer requires separate applications for examinations and job openings.

  1. Register as a user and set up a “Master Application”.  (No need to manually fill out a new application every time you want to apply for a job.  Simply maintain your “Master Application”, use it to apply for current job openings, and check the status of your applications on a 24/7 basis.) 
     
  2. Fill out “Interest Cards” so that you can receive e-mails and/or text messages about future job openings. You will need to renew your Interest Card selections annually.
