At Employment Connection, we believe a good job is more than just a paycheck. It’s a path to long-term success, well-being, and stability. That’s why we encourage our customers to aim for quality jobs—roles that support career growth, provide security, and contribute to a better life for you and your family.
But what exactly makes a job “quality”? Tulare County’s Job Quality Framework helps us define this through five key pillars:
A quality job supports your long-term career.
Clear career paths
On-the-job training and education programs
Recognition for your work and performance
You deserve a job that pays fairly and supports a stable life.
A living wage
Full-time opportunities with predictable schedules
Job security that helps you plan for the future
Safe work environments protect both your body and mind.
Access to healthcare and wellness resources
Mental health support
Compliance with safety laws and standards
Great jobs support long-term financial health.
Retirement plans or financial counseling
Paid leave and family support benefits
Bonuses or profit-sharing plans
The best workplaces value your voice and your identity.
Inclusive, respectful environments
Opportunities to provide feedback and contribute
Ethical and socially responsible practices
Choosing a quality job leads to better health, more stability, and greater opportunities—not just for you, but for your entire family. At Employment Connection, we help you identify which employers offer these types of opportunities and prepare you to succeed in them.
