The JustJobs Network is the vision of John Podesta, who founded and incubated the organization within the Center for American Progress. With seed funding from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, current President Sabina Dewan operationalized Podesta’s vision, creating a diverse global network of organizations focused on labor and employment issues. In 2013, the JustJobs Network became an independent organization, with a dual presence in Washington, D.C. and New Delhi.
