Hiring Partnerships

The Home Depot creates nearly 20,000 new jobs per year. To help meet its hiring goals, the company has entered into several hiring partnerships over the past few years in its efforts to recruit talented and diverse associates.

• In June 2002, The Home Depot and the Department of Labor formed a national hiring partnership. It calls for the Department of Labor, at the local level, to recruit, screen, refer and prepare unemployed or dislocated workers for job opportunities with the company.

• In August 2003, The Home Depot launched a hiring partnership with The Art Institute (AI). This innovative partnership provides us with access to a talented pool of future designers with exceptional knowledge of design, paint, millwork, flooring, plumbing and appliances. The Home Depot is the third largest employer of Art Institute graduates, with 34 schools participating in this program across the country. 

• In February 2004, The Home Depot entered into a hiring partnership with AARPÒ, the leading membership organization for the 50+ population with more than 35 million members.

• In September 2004, The Home Depot entered into its third national hiring partnership with the U.S. Departments of Defense, Labor and Veterans Affairs. The Home Depot will provide career opportunities for those interested in a second career after their military service is completed.

• In February 2005, The Home Depot formed a hiring partnership with four of the country’s leading national Hispanic organizations, The ASPIRA Association, Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU), National Council of La Raza (NCLR), and SER – Jobs for Progress National. The company will work with these organizations and their strong network of local offices and contacts to help recruit candidates for full-time and part-time positions across the country.
