You can sign-up for our free matching service that will connect you to peer job seekers (and provide free training and support).

We have set up and launched hundreds of JSCs since September 2022 and our team is ready to create hundreds (and we hope thousands more) for all those laid off, let go, or otherwise looking.

Again, this is a completely free service powered by volunteers who want to help.
