The City of Mesa, in collaboration with Pipeline AZ, has introduced Job Connect Mesa (JobConnectMesa.com), an online platform designed to revolutionize how employers and job seekers connect.

A Comprehensive Solution for Employers and Job Seekers
Job Connect Mesa serves as a centralized hub where local businesses can connect with a diverse pool of talent. It offers employers a simple and efficient way to post job openings, internships, and apprenticeships, allowing them to reach qualified candidates quickly and effectively.

"For employers, the Job Connect Mesa platform is uniquely tailored to the needs of each individual business," said Jaye O'Donnell, City of Mesa Economic Development Director. "We researched our business community's workforce needs, and discovered gaps and identified solutions that would address the needs of Mesa companies. These efforts gave rise to the Job Connect Mesa platform."

For job seekers, Job Connect Mesa provides a user-friendly interface to explore various career pathways based on their interests and skills. Additionally, it offers access to training programs and work-based experiences to help individuals prepare for in-demand jobs in Mesa and beyond.

Bridging Education and Industry

Through partnerships with K12 and post-secondary institutions, the platform helps bridge the gap between education and industry by connecting students with relevant training opportunities and potential employers.

"Pipeline AZ's collaboration with the City of Mesa represents a strategic workforce solution that actively engages our regional community, addressing their specific job needs, interests and unique circumstances," said Mesa Mayor John Giles.
