Join SCHA on 3/26 for the release of our first publication - "The Workforce Solution"
Are you a D.C. employer who is struggling to fill open positions? Do you own a business you are trying to scale up but you need to hire talent? You need The Workforce Solution! Join the Second Chance Hiring Alliance (SCHA) and the Greater Washington DC Black Chamber of Commerce (GWBCC) on March 26 at 12:30 PM as we release SCHA's latest publication "The Workforce Solution: D.C. Employer's FAQ for Second Chance Hiring.” This valuable resource will answer your questions about the legal requirements, financial incentives, and protections available to you as an employer looking to expand your applicant pool through second chance hiring. Second chance hiring is the practice of hiring people with criminal records, including those who have experienced incarceration, otherwise known as “justice-impacted.” Justice-impacted people in DC are a crucial untapped workforce solution for your business. Join us on March 26 to learn about The Workforce Solution, hear from experts and get your questions answered. Panelists include: - Simone Ellison - Greater Washington DC Black Chamber of Commerce - Lamont Carey, Director of the Mayor's Office for Returning Citizen Affairs (invited) - Nizam Ali, Vice Chairman of The Ben’s Chili Bowl Foundation (invited)
