There ARE better jobs

THE CAREER I FOUND GIVES ME THE CHANCE FOR A BETTER LIFE.

“These resources helped me find a trade that I’m passionate about, where I can continue to learn and grow throughout my career. I’ve become part of a brotherhood in my union that feels more like a family than coworkers. The career I found gives me the chance for a better life and better opportunities to provide for myself and my family.”

what we do

Connecting qualified workers with quality employers

Nashville is home to many high-road employers that guarantee fair wages, family-friendly benefits, and a company culture built on mutual respect. Yet, recruiting and retaining competent workers from Nashville’s communities can be a struggle for these employers, even as many diligent Nashvillians fail to secure family-sustaining careers in their city.

That’s where Good Jobs Nashville comes in!
