WELCOME
It's All About Employment is on a mission to help those in our community who are the most vulnerable. We help those that are homeless and/or recovering from addiction or alcohol abuse. We focus on getting them ready and placed in employment, while they focus on their sobriety and improving their lives.
Our Mission
Helping People Become Gainfully Employed by Providing A Whole Person Approach
Get to Know Us
Established in 2022, we recognized a need in the community while giving employment talks at a local shelter.
We noticed the difficult transition from homelessness, and addiction, to becoming sober, and working towards independence.
We strive to give support to those that are experiencing homelessness and are looking to do odd jobs and have taken the right steps to get back into the workforce and into society.
IAAE will guide those on their journey to become employment ready, and are able to work and improve their lives.
We partner with agencies around the community to help individuals overcome barriers so they can move forward with their employment goals. Once an individual is ready to find meaningful employment, IAAE works with employers to help them find opportunities. It’s All About Employment also provides continued support to ensure successful employment.
Why We Do This Work
Our 2024 Impact
10 people went on to permanent employment
15 people worked more than once in our day labor program
20 people worked consistently with us
Todd
Todd spent 2024 doing yard work and odd jobs. With steady income, he got his ID, secured housing, and found a permanent job. After years in a shelter and living in his car, the day labor program was life-changing. He once thanked me, saying he had enough money to visit his son and enjoy a meal outside the shelter.
Stacy
Stacy worked in the day labor program, using his skills to assist with equipment and city jobs. He earned enough to support himself, secure a vehicle and housing, and eventually landed a job maintaining heavy equipment.
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, a single mom struggling to get by, was staying at a friend’s house with her daughter. She joined the day labor program, quickly became a team lead, and managed lawn care and other projects. She was later referred to a local restaurant and hired part-time.
Changes in 2025
For eligible individuals, we will help them start their own businesses by providing tools such as a mower, snowblower, rake, and shovel. Additionally, we will offer marketing support to help them succeed.
When we launch our Empowerment Program in 2025, Elizabeth will be one of our first associates to benefit from this opportunity.
