Initiative offers job seekers access to remote work services

An initiative launched in partnership with Associated Governments of Northwest Colorado (AGNC) offers 300 free one-year memberships to FlexJobs, a career service specializing in remote and flexible jobs.

Those interested in participating in the initiative should contact AGNC through the website located at https://agnc.org/remote-work-program. 

Additional information also is available from Colorado Mesa University, Colorado Mountain College and Colorado Northwestern Community College.

AGNC received a grant to procure coupon codes for FlexJobs.

FlexJobs offers access to a total of more than 30,000 vetted full-time, part-time, temporary and freelance job openings in more than 50 career fields and at all experience levels. In addition to a free,
one-year FlexJobs membership, participants receive a consultation with a FlexJobs employment specialist.

The initiative was designed to help rural communities in Western Colorado affected by unemployment and underemployment by providing remote job opportunities to families struggling with limited child care options as well as workers and new graduates who want to remain in the area. Remote workers also offer employers more opportunities to recruit talent in a tight labor market.
