Calling all employers! The Opportunity Junction Hiring Partners program is a great way to support the Job Training and Placement Program and create the level of partnership that’s right for your business or organization.
What’s a Hiring Partner? The Hiring Partner program is an agreement between your company or agency and Opportunity Junction – an agreement that is customized to your needs.
At minimum, a representative of your organization signs a simple Memorandum of Understanding in which you commit to consider our graduates as candidates for your new hires, if they’re qualified, and in competition with all other candidates. (You would have done that anyway, right?)
A higher level of commitment might include your agreement to:
- Inform us of any job openings (by email, fax, or your favorite means)
- Consider using our interns when you need temporary help, especially for office or administrative tasks. Click here to learn about our Staffing Services program.
- Become involved in the education of participants in the Job Training and Placement Program; for example, teach a guest workshop, participate in mock interviews, or allow our interns to attend your organization’s staff development or New Hire workshop.
At an even higher level, you enter into an agreement for ongoing temporary services, internship opportunities, or placement of program graduates.
Opportunity Junction is committed to publicizing the community involvement of its Hiring Partners through our website, newsletters, and events.
Contact Opportunity Junction Deputy Director Jesse Golden at (925) 776-1133 or jesse@opportunityjunction.org to see how the Hiring Partners program can be customized for your needs.
