Fair Chance Employer Symposium | Nationwide Children’s Hospital Inc.
April 30 @ 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
Franklin County area EMPLOYERS are invited to learn about second chance hiring and the best practices for hiring justice‑impacted talent!
About:
Franklin County area employers are invited to this special, day-long event on “The Business of Second Chances: Advancing Employment Opportunities for Every Resident”. This event will highlight fair chance hiring best practices with a spotlight on the benefits of employing justice‑impacted talent.
It is estimated that well over 60% of individuals reentering from correctional facilities will remain unemployed at least a year beyond their release. This reality is not only a threat to successful reintegration, it is not economically sustainable. Join us for a day-long series of impactful conversations focused on the realities of fair chance hiring and the opportunities it creates for all involved.
Throughout the event, you will:
- Navigate compliant hiring protocols that expand your talent pool
- Learn about tools that protect your organization while promoting equity
- Debunk myths surrounding fair chance employment
- Hear from local peers who have successfully implemented inclusive hiring models
- Explore partnerships and resources rooted in community-wide strategy
