The vast majority—80%—of active and passive job seekers foresee getting a new job next year, according to the ASA Candidate Sentiment Study, even amid the economic uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. The new research report from ASA includes data points such as this and can play a critical role in your company’s strategic planning.

The study delivers detailed data in four main categories: How Candidates Decide Which Staffing Firm to Use; Pandemic Impact on Candidates; Job Search Process; and Staffing Firm Utilization and Satisfaction.

Help Support the Future Workforce by Supporting the ASA Foundation

This year, the ASA Foundation is again supporting fundraising efforts for its philanthropic partner, Jobs for America’s Graduates—specifically, to provide scholarships for the JAG National Student Leadership Academy.

Each year, the academy program hosts 800 student delegates from across the nation to participate in three days of professional and personal development activities. The cost to attend ranges from $1,000 to $2,000—quite steep for deserving, but economically disadvantaged, youth. Your donation will help remove this financial burden for a select group of JAG student scholars.

By contributing to the ASA Foundation JAG scholar fund, you will provide a high school student a life-changing experience that will help shape their professional future in the workforce.

Give to the ASA Foundation JAG scholar fund before the year ends—and help spread the word on social media using the hashtag #ASACares.
