The Jobs Foundation is a charity set up to champion the role of business as a force for good, supporting the crucial role companies play giving people a step up in life by providing jobs and training opportunities. We want to have a practical impact on the ground, by helping business leaders do even more for their local communities, by providing them with the tools, knowledge, and best practice on employing and training people from less privileged backgrounds. In conjunction, we want to have a policy impact by creating a business environment which allows companies to thrive. We hope to bring about a real change in the way policy makers view business, and the crucial social and economic value businesses contribute to those most in need.
