As COVID-19 impacted the job market and job seekers, Lyft teamed up with like-minded partners to provide access to transportation for those in need. Earlier this year, we partnered with Indeed to expand our Jobs Access program - which provides access to rides for job seekers who need reliable transportation to get to job interviews, training, or the first few weeks of a new job - to over 35 markets across the country. Today, we are excited to announce an expansion of that program by providing transportation access for Indeed's Ready to Work program.
Indeed's Ready to Work program is a series of free virtual and in-person events for job seekers in several cities across the U.S. from September 15 to October 8, 2022. Through Ready to Work, Indeed hopes to connect 50,000 job seekers with employers looking to hire talent right now. Lyft will provide access to rides for participants of Ready to Work's in-person events.
"The last couple of years have brought new challenges and exacerbated existing ones for so many job seekers. This program is important because not only is it impacting entire communities, but deserving individuals who have the desire and the potential to do great work," said Abbey Carlton, Indeed's VP of Social Impact. "The support from our partners will allow the Ready to Work initiative to reach as many job seekers as possible through both in-person and virtual events that will connect thousands of people with companies who need great talent now."
"Supporting job seekers in need is foundational to our LyftUp programming. When we officially launched our Jobs Access program in 2019, we knew we were hitting the mark on a crucial point to success," said Lisa Boyd, Director of Social Impact at Lyft. "Our expansion with Indeed will allow us to reach so many more people looking to further their careers. We're excited to close a transportation barrier through the Ready to Work initiative."
Lyft's Jobs Access Program is part of LyftUp, Lyft's comprehensive effort to expand transportation access to those who need it most. For additional information, visitlyft.com/lyftup.
