Building a D.C. Labor Force that Works

Many companies in the Washington D.C. metro area are struggling to recruit and retain top talent. It’s not for lack of workers; it’s because too few employers know where to find the right ones.

D.C. job seekers who’ve been involved in the justice system are often screened out of the hiring process because of their record, a policy that prevents employers from considering their skills and capabilities. Second Chance Hiring, the practice of intentionally recruiting and hiring justice-impacted individuals, is increasingly being used by local employers to fill critical roles.

Join the Responsible Business Initiative for Justice (RBIJ) and the Council for Court Excellence (CCE) for “Building a D.C. Labor Force that Works: Exploring Opportunities for Second Chance Hiring.”

What you’ll learn:

• How businesses from highly regulated industries tap into justice-impacted talent

• Why Second Chance Hiring is a smart and scalable recruitment strategy

• The potential challenges with Second Chance Hiring – and how they can be mitigated

• How to work with local community-based organizations to identify top talent

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
