A career can start with one connection.

🤝 Recently, BETTER WORK co-hosted a Careers in Care hiring event at the GoodwillSR Career Center in Columbus, bringing job seekers, employers, and educational partners together in one room. Employers shared entry-level opportunities that can help people begin a career in care, while educational partners highlighted certification pathways to help turn those first steps into long-term careers. For people with lived experience—including mental health challenges or justice-system involvement—access to meaningful work can be an important part of building stability, purpose, and a stronger future. Hosted through the Employment Subcommittee of the Mayor’s Commission on Re-entry, this event reflects what can happen when communities come together around opportunity. It was our second hiring event of the year, and we’re encouraged by the momentum. 💙 More connections. More pathways. More opportunities to move forward. #BETTERWORK #JobsForLife #GeorgiaCenterForOpportunity #GCO #WorkforceDevelopment #CareersInCare #MeaningfulWork #ColumbusGA #OpportunityForAll #SecondChances
