About JOBS FOUNDATION

Jobs Foundation (also doing business as Tech Dump and Repowered) is a Saint Paul, Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) social enterprise that combines electronics reuse/recycling with a workforce development program for adults facing barriers to employment, including people with a history of incarceration. The organization operates refurbishing, resale and certified recycling services that generate earned revenue while providing hands-on training, data-sanitation and workplace experience. Its programs emphasize long-term employment placement: recent filings report cohort-based training, phased internships, and high transition rates into stable jobs.
