Jobs Partnership (JP) provides cohort-based job mentoring that empowers people to sustain growth-oriented employment through a Christian framework.
Last fall, we celebrated the graduation of 20 individuals from our program, which involved twelve weeks of classes at our Reeves campus. Our retention rate during this period was the highest among all JP sites. This achievement reflects the dedication of coaches from all three participating churches, who provided invaluable guidance, support, and wisdom to help participants find better job opportunities. The coaches walk hand in hand with the participants through the scripture-based LifeWorks curriculum. In addition to providing coaches, our church provided the Team Lead (Anita Williams) and Head Coach (Dave Olsen).
During the impact brief, the JP representative mentioned the value of the childcare provided, which allowed a significant number of participants to enroll and complete the program. These individuals would otherwise not have been able to participate. Our site was the only JP site to provide childcare. At the end of the fall semester, a survey was sent to the participants. Check out the results below and prayerfully consider joining us for our next class starting August 29th!
Fall 2024 Classes Begin on August 29
Volunteers are the key to the success of the Jobs Partnership program. Visit our website to learn more about how you can get involved!
- LifeWork Coaches: Provide guidance, support and wisdom to help the JP participants find a path to a better work situation. The coaches walk hand in hand with the participants through the scripture-based life works curriculum.
- Interview Practice Coaches: Attend one of the evening sessions to work with participants to improve their job interviewing skills.
- Resume Coaches: Work individually with participants (usually virtual) to help craft or improve resumes.
- Meal Preparation Team: A meal is provided during each of the 12 week sessions. We are looking for church groups to each provide one meal. A number of church bible studies have provided amazing meals in past years.
- Childcare: We are the only JP site to provide child care. This has enabled a significant number of participants to enroll and complete the program. These individuals would otherwise not have been able to participate. We are looking for several individuals who would be willing to provide child care.
