Hire a Social Enterprise Graduate
Companies seeking to create a stable, reliable workforce have found that working with social enterprise graduates can become an important part of their human resources strategy.
By working within the supportive structure of a social enterprise, employees gain stability in their lives and gain the confidence and basic skills that enable them to become reliable productive workers in the companies that hire them.
REDF is in the process of developing a program to connect employers like you with this high quality work force. Once launched, it will be a great way to identify new employees.
The program will include sharing best practices to help you support your employees’ commitment to long-term, stable employment.
REDF’s program experts will provide you with services to support and retain your new employees. Many companies have benefited from hiring this workforce, including those listed below:
- Safeway
- The Gap
- Providian
To be notified of this exciting new program as soon as it launches, please contact us.
Our data show that the social ventures we fund are remarkably successful in helping people make a transition to long-term employment. 17 out of every 20 graduates from a REDF-supported social enterprise are either employed or in school two years after leaving the social enterprise.
