Below highlights the extraordinary benefits of becoming a Jobs for Life™ Business Partner:

Access to a viable source of potential employees in your business region

In your community, Jobs for Life sites, located at area churches and community organizations, are engaged in a proven job training and support strategy for those who are unemployed and underemployed.  Students of Jobs for Life classes learn principles such as responsibility, integrity, positive attitude, respect for authority, and proper conflict resolution to prepare them for success in the marketplace. 

• While not required to hire these candidates, JfL Business Partners gain priority access to this qualified source of employees for their job openings.
• JfL provides your company bio and contact information to current JfL sites and you will receive the contact information of those JfL sites in your business region.
• JfL site leaders are encouraged to direct their students to your company as they are looking for employment. 
• JfL site leaders are encouraged to publicize JfL Business Partners to their wider network.

Exposure and visibility to the Jobs for Life™ network

JfL highlights and exposes JfL Business Partners to its local and national network as model companies making a profound difference in the fight against poverty and unemployment in our communities. 

• Your company will join a list of other businesses in your community that share your values and are committed to community transformation. 
• Cross marketing opportunities will surface as you have the opportunity to interact with other JfL Business Partners in your network, while you also will gain valuable market exposure to a customer base that shares your company’s values. 
• Nationally, JfL’s exposure reaches hundreds of thousands of people, while locally tens of thousands can be reached. 

Life Transformation

By connecting to Jobs for Life™ as a JfL Business Partner, your company will be investing in the lives of those who are struggling with unemployment and underemployment. 

• Your involvement as a JfL Business Partner is certain to transform lives as JfL reaches hundreds of people per year. 
• As a Business Partner, you also will have the opportunity to see these lives transformed through volunteer opportunities with your local JfL sites.  JfL encourages you to connect with JfL site leaders as you are able to learn about their training classes, volunteer during their business roundtables/mock interviews, attend classes and/or graduations, or instruct one of the classes.  Any time you are able to give will be a profound experience and a confirmation of the power of your investment.
