Columbus Works, Inc.

Not a program. A relationship! Columbus Works is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization providing hope and encouragement to area residents who desire to advance from poverty to economic self-sufficiency through employment. We offer a uniquely transformational approach to eliminating poverty in central Ohio, through our network of job development and placement services. Columbus Works serves two clients: Job seekers (Members) who desire to work their way out of poverty, and employers (Employers Partners), who pay fair wages and offer benefits. By addressing multiple concerns and needs of Members and Employer Partners Columbus Works is able to eliminate barriers to successful and sustained employment, which impacts economic self-sufficiency. Economically self-sufficient individuals are taxpayers, role models, and productive citizens who are able to provide for themselves and their families without public assistance. Members participate voluntarily and are engaged in the Columbus Works relationship for the long haul. Columbus Works Members are Members for life! There is no cost to become an Employer Partner or Member. Area employers have the opportunity to hire Columbus Works Members and have found them to be viable and value added employees. Columbus Works, Inc. is the Cincinnati Works Affiliate for the Columbus metropolitan area. Cincinnati Works is an award winning model for impacting poverty by providing access to training and assistance removing barriers to sustained employment, with tremendous success.
