Jingoli Competitive Edge

JINGOLI Power is committed to giving back to the communities where we work. JINGOLI Power’s “Competitive Edge” program was designed to ensure most of a project’s dollars remain in the community to help build a stronger local economy and workforce.

Competitive Edge was created and designed to develop, foster, and grow one of the company’s core beliefs – a solid commitment to enriching the economic stability of the communities in which we work throughs service, education, and mentorship. This workforce development program runs for twelve consecutive weeks. The first week was designed to acclimate students to the program, an Exam to Test for Basic Adult Education (TABE) is given, Instructional and Team Building Exercises, Guest Motivational Speakers, Basic Safety Primers and Orientation to Staff and the facility.

Through community involvement, much of the funds allocated for JINGOLI’s projects are invested back into the local surrounding communities. Subcontractors are required to utilize available local workforce, suppliers, and contractors. Some highlights of the program are as follows:

Competitive Edge

JINGOLI Power uses its extensive networks to identify contractors and suppliers for its projects. The company places a strong emphasis on contracting with minority and women-owned companies in each state. Due to extensive community outreach, the company has a highly-diversified base of contractors and suppliers to provide services.

Competitive Edge assists in SBE/MBE/WBE businesses in the areas of job site safety, project document controls, cost estimating, project scheduling, and workforce utilization. Also, the program guides in obtaining construction insurance, financial assistance, and bonding support to help promote company success.

Competitive Edge has an established division whose sole purpose is to ensure that the Outreach Program is successful. Without close dedicated attention, programs often end up being neglected or dissolved. Competitive Edge has its own staff dedicated to ensure the highest level of community outreach success possible.

Competitive Edge is committed to obtaining contracts for small local, minority, and women-own businesses to distribute large sections of work into smaller parts to allow the local companies to participate in projects. Also, the program has helped build relationships with local unions to help best navigate businesses towards union training programs.

VETERAN HIRING INITIATIVE

JINGOLI is approved as a participant in the Department of Defense (DoD) SkillBridge program – we value the ability to search out talented transition military service members and provide them with a smooth transition into the workforce while providing them job placement. JINGOLI Power also has a long track record of hiring veterans from all service branches. Why hire vets? They have proven leadership abilities and work ethic, and they work well on high-performance teams and on problem-solving in high-stress environments. They possess expertise in personnel management, and they know how to analyze, interpret, and present data in an agile environment. In fact, our proprietary mobile solution JARVIS was built by a U.S. Army Special Operations veteran who developed technology and communications solutions for the U.S. Special Forces’ Green Berets.
