Employment Support and Career Coaching for Job Seekers
People in our churches and communities experience job loss, unemployment, and career transitions. Through the Employment and Resource Network (EaRN), we walk alongside job seekers in a Christ-centered way, offering encouragement, practical resources, career coaching, and support. Employment support and career coaching is available to job seekers free of charge through our experienced and dedicated career coaches.
We believe in stewardship of God’s resources—including time, talent, and treasure. EaRN helps individuals identify their God-given skills and talents, strengthen their career goals, and pursue meaningful employment.
Career Coaching and Job Search Support
EaRN (Employment and Resource Network) is a ministry venture founded by Ken Soper, NCDA Master Career Counselor, who has more than 30 years of experience providing career counseling and career coaching. Through their vast experience, EaRN coaches have developed practical methods to help people manage their network of contacts effectively and discover opportunities that are often never publicized.
EaRN provides resources and support for people who are:
- Looking for a job or returning to work
- Unemployed or underemployed
- Experiencing a career transition
- Exploring new career opportunities
- Seeking help with career planning and job-search strategies
- Looking to identify and communicate their skills and talents
Our goal is to help job seekers move forward with confidence while pursuing productive and meaningful employment.
