2nd chance employers are so critical to supporting our communities and addressing inequity in our workplaces. The Prison Policy Initiative conducted a study that showed the #1 predictor of recidivism (the tendency for convicted offenders to reoffend) was poverty. An additional supporting study by the United States Sentencing Commission concluded that if a citizen transitioning out of the prison system can find stable employment within one year of release, the recidivism rate reduces by 40%. Providing access to stable employment to those that have a criminal history needs to be a bigger part of rehabilitating those who commit crimes. It is not talked about enough, nor are there sufficient resources in the justice system currently to support it. This work has to be done, especially to combat systematic oppression of historically marginalized groups due to the racial and ethnic disparities present in the criminal justice system. CareerSource Pinellas is helping to do that work. 👏 If your organization is a 2nd Chance Employer, or you know someone who is, please see below.

Instead of the job search taking months, one Houston area man couldn't believe it when he found work in less than two weeks thanks to an agency behind ABC13 Who's Hiring Job Fair. Alex Carson spends a lot of time on the phone. "People call me all day long, and I get to help them," Carson explained. He said he needed assistance a few months ago after moving to Houston. "I had just moved back from the Netherlands," Carson recalled. "I was bracing myself for the job hunt. I was ready to dive in." Carson thought the job hunt would take months. Instead, he learned about a remote sales representative position at TTEC through a Workforce Solutions career advisor and reached out. Thanks to that first step, he got a job in two weeks. Carson isn't alone. For nearly four years, Eyewitness News has partnered with Workforce Solutions for the weekly ABC13 Who's Hiring Job Fair. ABC13 Houston Nick Natario Michelle Ramirez Castrow During this time, ABC13 has helped thousands of people find work and introduced many to different programs. During the job fair event, ABC13 had a number of people calling to apply for jobs. To see the jobs, visit the Workforce Solutions website and look for the "As seen on ABC13" section. You can also call the ABC13 hotline powered by Workforce Solutions at 713-243-6663 to apply for the jobs and ask about getting assistance with other items such as resume building, practice interviews, or childcare scholarships.

I had the chance to attend Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU)'s Spring 2024 Business Career Fair yesterday. I had a candidate walk up to me and open with the statement below. "Hi! Truthfully, I'm completely unfamiliar with Oracle and NetSuite, and I have no idea what you do or what opportunities you have available... I was just walking by and I heard you talking to another candidate. You seem to be really passionate and excited about your job and your company, so I wanted to come check it out. Could you tell me more about it?" Hell yeah. That was a really kind way for that candidate to say, "you're really loud..." This is the best compliment that I've received on my recruiting efforts in quite some time. I am very passionate and excited about my job and my company, so I'm happy to hear that it is evident. This is the best job that I've ever had. It's very easy to showcase this passion and excitement when you love what you do and truly believe in the opportunity. Shoutout to that candidate for the compliment. I am #hiring! #sales #staffing #recruiting #businessdevelopment #salesdevelopment #sdr #bdr #culture #careers #campusrecruiting #graduating #entrylevel #interviewing #growth #opportunity

🗣 ATTENTION EMPLOYERS - The deadline to register (OCT 14TH) is quickly approaching!!! Are you interested in a free booth at the upcoming Cambridge Job Fair on Oct 27th, hosted by Kinbridge Community Association & Workplace & Immigrant Network??? One unique thing about this job fair is the preparation ✍🏻 that will be done with jobseekers as a REQUIREMENT prior to their attendance at the job fair. Jobseekers will receive information on the employers ahead of time, and prepare specifically for the roles that are a correct fit. 👏 This is a great benefit for employers who attended previous job fairs, but were blanketed with resumes📄 that were not a good fit. However, to ensure this benefit is effective✅, they need employer sign-ups with enough lead time to prep the candidates. Please click here to register: https://lnkd.in/erHxMvqS 📢 DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS OCT 14TH, 2023!! Email LilyM@kinbridge.ca for more information
