Why Partner with CareSource JobConnect?
CareSource JobConnect works with employers to understand their industry and the skillset they look for in employees.
Even if employers do not have a current job opening, they can still engage with job-ready candidates interested in taking an active role in their company.
All CareSource JobConnect members are assigned a Life Coach who help prepare members for success in the workplace.

The member’s Life Coach is also available to the employer at no cost for the first 24 months.
