H.I.R.E.D!

The H.I.R.E.D! Program

H.I.R.E.D! stands for Helping Individuals Reach Employment Dreams. It is a partnership between The Walton Family Foundation, Arkansas Public Resource Center, several small NWA school districts*, business and industry leaders, and post-secondary educators to provide opportunities for both high school students and employers. The goal of the program is to impact the lives of students by giving them access to high-quality career guidance and the education or skill development necessary to obtain the career of their dreams. The goal of the program for employers is to have the opportunity to develop and recruit a highly skilled workforce. At H.I.R.E.D! we believe that when accurate information about careers that are available is combined with realistic pathways for students to acquire the skills necessary to obtain those careers, both students and employers will benefit.

*Partner School Districts: Gentry, Gravette, Greenland, Lincoln
