No one should search for work alone
Work is part of how we provide for ourselves and our families and become more self-reliant. When a job is lost, or when the job we have is not enough, the Lord’s pattern is to help one another.
“Seek learning, even by study and also by faith.” Education or vocational training can lead to better employment so members can provide for personal and family needs.General Handbook 22.1.3
This page gathers Church, stake, and local resources for finding work, finding better work, or starting a business. It is part of the stake’s Welfare and Self-Reliance resources.
Looking for work? Start with your ward
Tell your Elders Quorum or Relief Society presidency, or your bishop. Ward members often know of openings, and leaders can connect you with the help below. With your permission, they can share your search with the ward council so more people can help.
