“The Tractor Supply Foundation is proud to partner with Conexión
Américas, as they are an incredible resource for thousands of
Latino families here in Middle Tennessee and across the country,”
said Melissa Kersey, Executive Vice President, Chief Human
Resources Officer of Tractor Supply Company and Board Member of the
Tractor Supply Foundation. “By working together, we can overcome
language and cultural barriers to connect with those who share our
passion for Life Out Here. We are excited for this grant to help us
grow our team to better reflect, support and celebrate the
communities we serve.”
Through the grant, Conexión Américas will work collaboratively
with Tractor Supply to offer bilingual skills-based trainings that
include resume building, interview preparation and job readiness
training in the Latino community. Tractor Supply will also
frequently post job opportunities directly on the Conexión Américas
online job board and will be regularly highlighted in the
organization’s communications materials to raise awareness of the
Company. In addition to the workforce opportunities, Tractor Supply
will be an integral part of two large events celebrating Hispanic
Heritage – The Latin Party and Cafecito.
Fuerte Juntos, Tractor Supply’s Hispanic Team Member Engagement
Group (TMEG), frequently supports Conexión Américas through
volunteer activities, including at a recent hiring event held
during Hispanic Heritage Family Day at the Nashville Zoo. The grant
will generate additional volunteer opportunities for the TMEG, as
well as all interested Tractor Supply Team Members.
