BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT

Formally established in 2018, Frontier Co-op’s Breaking Down Barriers to Employment initiative aims to address systemic barriers to employee success and economic mobility by providing important support services including access to subsidized childcare options, transportation, second chance hiring practices, and apprenticeship and skills training programs with the aim of ensuring employees and program participants are successful not only within our co-op, but the wider community.

Our Cornerstone Programs

As an employer in rural Iowa, we recognize that each employee faces their own unique set of challenges and circumstances – including barriers to personal and professional growth and success. Because of this, we strive to provide a variety of options that meet employees where they’re at – so they can utilize the programs that they need to succeed.

Frontier Co-op employee Alisia

I've been rejected by employers because of my history and so that's why I think I'm so grateful and thankful for Frontier... Now I have my own place, I just bought a new car, I have support, I have hope. I have positive influences in my life, positive people. Getting out of that bad, negative environment and those people. Here I was able to start over and start fresh.
