Why is The Home Depot partnering with national organizations?
• The explosive growth of the U.S. Hispanic population is reshaping America, including the face of business. The Home Depot views this new partnership as a tremendous way to achieve our objective of being the employer of choice, neighbor of choice, investment of choice and retailer of choice for our partner organizations and their communities. • We believe that diversity is the catalyst for innovative thinking, entrepreneurial spirit and new ways of building our communities. The greater the diversity of our people, the greater our ability to serve our customers and communities. • The Home Depot has always been a leading corporate citizen and this program continues our proud history. • Our hiring needs are immense and we need qualified, skilled associates working in our stores. The Home Depot will create nearly 20,000 net new jobs in 2005 – ranging from entry-level jobs to store management.
