Jamba Juice® to Host Second National Hiring Day, Expand Their Commitment to Summer Youth Employment
Jamba Juice Company (NASDAQ: JMBA), a leading healthy, active lifestyle
company, announced the company’s second National Hiring Day (NHD)
initiative. Interviews will take place in 100 stores across the nation
on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. In 2012, Jamba
pledged to hire 2,500 summer youth and exceeded their pledge by nearly
300%, hiring close to 6,000 nationwide.
In an effort to expand this year’s commitment, Jamba has tapped the
support of their franchise store owners to illustrate how small
businesses can play a significant role in creating jobs through focused
efforts and a collaborative commitment.
At a press conference scheduled for Monday, March 4, 2013, 10:00 a.m.
PST, at the San Francisco Treasure Island Job Corps, James D. White,
Jamba’s chairman, president and CEO, will formally announce 2013
National Hiring Day goals.
"We continue to be committed to helping our nation’s youth gain valuable
skills and work experience that will be critical to their future career
success," said Mr. White. “This year, we are partnering with several key
franchisees to illustrate the role that small businesses owners can play
in helping to stimulate job growth and the economy.
“When young people are given the opportunity to work over the summer,
they learn about careers, meet adults with life experiences to share,
and gain skills needed to enter the workforce,” said Assistant Secretary
of Labor for Employment and Training Jane Oates. “We are delighted to
see Jamba Juice’s ongoing commitment to expanding employment and
mentoring opportunities for young American workers.”
