Partnerships Make Better Jobs Work!

As An Employer, You Can Change A Life

Better Jobs has brought together more than 500 businesses nationwide, and we’re changing lives with every hire. If you have job openings and want to be part of restoring a job seeker’s dignity, and reaping the rewards of a truly grateful hire, our job fairs are a great place to start!

"While we produce millions of bags of high-quality snacks every day, we really are in the people business. It is our thousands of dedicated teammates across the country who work together to produce great tasting products that consumer get to enjoy. We believe that to succeed, we must attract great people to join our team and then provide them with training, recognition, rewards, and a safe work environment so that they can continue to grow and learn with us. Shearer’s is growing, and that means opportunities for our people. To succeed, you must work hard, enjoy working in a team-oriented setting, and do what you say you will do. Those behaviors enable people to rapidly grow their careers. We believe in second chances, and that with the right attitude, work ethic, values and training, a fresh start with Shearer’s can lead to a happy, productive and successful new beginning."

"I love attending the Second Chance job fairs because of the great applicants who attend the event. One of the key things that makes the event successful is the job coaches on site that help candidates get to the right tables and opportunities that fit the needs of each candidate and company. When candidates connect with us, they are ready with their resume in hand and the pre-screening work has been completed. This allows our team to connect with each candidate and really get to know them and if Waste Pro would be a good fit for them and their career goals. It is exciting to hear the bell rings throughout the day when people fit the right career fit."

Becoming a Church Partner

Churches are the heartbeat of our ministry. These organizations provide us with thousands of volunteers who put their faith to action daily. The scriptures instruct us to make room in our lives to care for strangers and welcome one another into our homes and our lives. Serving one another is akin to serving Christ.

You can also give your congregation the chance to grow spiritually, show kindness and change society for the better. Churches can help our Better Jobs program by:

Nationwide Day of Second Chances

Created by Better Together, the Nationwide Day of Second Chances is a day when churches, volunteers, local businesses and nonprofits across the United States band together to host job fairs for neighbors who face employment barriers such as incarceration.

Each year, 650,000 Americans are released from prison – over 10,000 people a week. These are single moms, fathers, teenagers, veterans and recovering addicts. With no job prospects, two-thirds of them will lose hope and return to prison.

However, we believe everyone has a gift they can use to make society better, if given a chance. Get involved and learn more about this movement for second chances!
