In the growing city of Columbus, Ohio, opportunity has found a new champion. James Jackson, a longtime entrepreneur and advocate for community empowerment, has opened a new AtWork franchise in Whitehall at 3606 East Main Street. The opening marks another step in the staffing firm’s strategic expansion into regional markets where the need for quality employment connections continues to rise.
For Jackson, the mission goes far beyond business. With years spent mentoring young entrepreneurs and guiding formerly incarcerated individuals toward meaningful employment through his work with the Starts Within Organization, he views staffing as a way to change lives. “Helping someone find a job they love is a powerful way to impact lives,” he said. His new office will serve a range of industries including light industrial, clerical, and administrative sectors, linking skilled workers with employers across the greater Columbus area.
AtWork’s leadership sees Jackson’s commitment as a model for the company’s community-driven growth. “With James’ entrepreneurial spirit and strong community ties, he’s not just opening a business; he’s building a foundation for economic development in Whitehall,” said Jason Leverant, President and COO of AtWork. The brand’s blend of national resources and local leadership positions it to serve as both an employment catalyst and a community partner.
As Whitehall continues to evolve into a hub for business and innovation, AtWork’s arrival signals the power of local investment and social purpose in franchising. For Jackson, every job placement represents more than a business success—it is a moment of connection, trust, and renewal for a community eager to grow.
