Communities Band Together for Work (ABC News) describes several ways in which communities are helping their local job hunters:
- Companies with empty desks are opening up as ad hoc coworking/collaboration spaces, facilitating new business ventures and partnerships.
- Churches track Needs (people looking for work) and Leads (job openings) in a database to help match their congregants with open positions.
- People are starting local job clubs to provide support to their job-hunting neighbors.
What kinds of activities have you seen in your communities to support job hunters?
