Juvo Jobs Named Alongside Fortune 500 Companies for Workforce Innovation Award

ATLANTA, GA (September 2, 2025)— Juvo Jobs, an Atlanta-based workforce technology company, has been named one of five nominees for the Mike Kenig Corporate Workforce Trailblazer Award, joining global corporations Accenture, Costco, Delta Community Credit Union, and Levy Restaurants in recognition of exceptional leadership in advancing workforce development across metro Atlanta.

The nomination represents a significant milestone for the emerging company, placing Juvo Jobs among multinational enterprises recognized for transformative impact in employment access, economic mobility, and talent development.

"To be nominated alongside organizations of this caliber is both humbling and validating," said Mark Emery, Co-Founder and CEO of Juvo Jobs. "It signals that our community-first approach to hourly workforce solutions is creating measurable impact at a scale that resonates with regional leaders.”

The Mike Kenig Corporate Workforce Trailblazer Award, presented by CareerRise, honors corporate partners that collaborate with community stakeholders to create meaningful employment pathways, invest in talent development, and implement workplace practices that drive long-term economic opportunity. The award is one of the region's most prestigious recognitions for workforce innovation.

Juvo Jobs earned its nomination for connecting local hourly workers to nearby employment opportunities through human-centered technology and strategic partnerships with colleges, community organizations, and regional employers. The company's model addresses a critical gap in Atlanta's rapidly evolving labor market: efficient, equitable access to hourly jobs and talent for workers and employers alike.

"This nomination validates what we've seen in the market: there's significant demand for solutions that address the unique challenges of hourly hiring," said Debbie Emery, Co-Founder and Chief Support Officer of Juvo Jobs. "We're solving a real problem by reducing geographic barriers, increasing hiring transparency, and creating visibility for workers often overlooked by traditional recruitment platforms."

The recognition arrives as metro Atlanta grapples with workforce challenges common across high-growth metropolitan areas: persistent skills gaps, high turnover in hourly positions, and mounting pressure on employers to fill critical roles across industries from healthcare to hospitality. Juvo Jobs' ability to generate impact in this space, while competing for recognition against corporations with vastly larger resources, underscores the scalability and market relevance of its approach.

The award winner will be announced at the CareerRise Workforce Excellence Summit on September 16 at Zoo Atlanta. The Summit convenes decision-makers from Fortune 500 companies, public agencies, educational institutions, and emerging workforce technology firms to identify scalable solutions and recognize measurable outcomes in the regional labor market.
