This website is under development.  We are continuing to recruit to complete our Board of Directors and Board of Advisors.  Research is also continuing to complete the content of our Programs section.  The purpose of this preliminary version of the website is simply to explain the concept of the site and the way it functions.  Watch for the complete site soon. 

Want a job, a better job, a new career?

Or free training in job skills, or an apprenticeship?

Or free assistance in preparing for your job hunt?

Power of Jobs is a non-profit organization that provides information you can use to make it happen.

OUR MISSION

Scroll Group 2.png

Power of Jobs is dedicated to helping residents of Boston find a good job or get on the path to a good job.  Our special focus is on communities of color, youth, and returning citizens.

We carry out our mission by maintaining a website that provides an up-to-date list of free services that can help you find a job today, alerts to upcoming job fairs, guidance to apply for apprenticeships, job skills training, and job prep services - including career coaching, job search support and certifications - for securing jobs in a range of industries and trades, as well as in city, state or federal organizations. There are many wonderful sources for these services, but they are not so easy to find. The Power of Jobs website is the only one-stop source for all this information.

We also have broader goals: reducing poverty, building wealth, fighting racism, and strengthening community. We believe jobs are fundamental to achieving these goals.  And that is why our organization’s name is Power of Jobs. 

Why jobs

Jobs have a distinctive power to build personal wealth and dignity, build a family, build community, build a business, and give the next generation a head start.

A vital dimension of our mission is that these are all free services and opportunities.
