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.

How should students follow up after a career fair? 💭🔱 We had the opportunity to ask employers how students should approach post-fair follow-ups, and here’s what they shared. Do you have any tips for Sun Devils? 📣

SIUE Career Fairs provide an opportunity for students to connect with employers to learn more about their career opportunities. There will be a variety of different employers showcasing their employment opportunities in various employment locations. Please check out the list of attending employers and research the companies before attending the event. We recommend visiting all of the employers' booths to learn more about the different opportunities they may be offering to students. This event will be setup in a table/booth style where students can walk to different employer tables to learn more about their opportunities. Some employers may conduct on-the-spot mini interviews. Students should dress professionally and have multiple copies of their resume available for employers. We recommend researching employers before attending the event. The event will be from 11 am -2 pm. Students will need their Cougar Card (800 ID Card) to check-in at the event.
