Better Together, Discovery Church to host Nov. 14 community job fair in Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. - Oct. 31, 2024 - PRLog -- Better Together, a nonprofit dedicated to families and children, is partnering with Discovery Church to host a community job fair for Orlando-area residents from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 14.

Better Together helps parents who are going through a hard time to keep their kids out of foster care, find work and address the root causes of their struggle so that they can reunite as a family with the tools and support system to thrive. With the help of donors and hundreds of volunteers and church communities, Better Together builds lasting support systems that help families cope with hardships – such as job loss, substance abuse, homelessness and jail time – and ensures that children are cared for in a safe home until the family can be reunited.

To date, the program has served over 10,000 children and kept 98% of families served through mentoring and hosting out of the state system, while helping nearly 40,000 job seekers across 24 states find employment. At job fairs hosted by Better Together, two-thirds of attendees get a job interview, and 1 in 4 receive a job offer on the spot. Some 70% find work within six weeks.

Registration is now open for hiring employers and job seekers to participate in the November event. The church-based job fair not only connects job seekers with local employers who are ready to hire, but also provides resources to facilitate stronger connections and more hires. Free one-on-one job coaching sessions are also available to job seekers to review resumes and interviewing skills, and additional services will be available onsite.

The Nov. 14 job fair will take place at Discovery Church, located at 881 Sand Lake Road in Orlando. Job seekers and employers can register at BetterTogetherUS.org/Discovery or by texting "JOBS" to 844-987-3949.
