Community Partner FAQs

If you represent a local support service or otherwise work with individuals to help them find employment, you can sign up as a Community Partner on AthensAchieves.com. To request an account, please email our Navigators: navigators@athensachieves.com

We are actively developing the Community Partner role for AthensAchieves.com. Currently, Community Partners have the ability to suggest support services for us to add to our database and submit hiring events for us to add to our events calendar. Services and events must be approved by our Navigators before they will show up on the website.

In the future, we will be adding additional functionality, such as a custom Community Partner analytics dashboard and a way to manage candidate cases that are assigned to you.

If you know of an existing local service that provides support to individuals seeking employment (childcare, transportation, education, financial assistance, etc.), you can suggest it in the Community Partner dashboard. Our Navigators will review your submission and add it to the system if it is applicable and does not already exist in our database.
