In recognition of National Reentry Month, the Alameda County Social Services Agency (ACSSA), in partnership with the Oakland Private Industry Council, Alameda County Probation Department, and the Alameda County Workforce Development Board, is hosting a Fair Chance Job and Resource Fair on Wed., April 26, 2023, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at RingCentral Coliseum, 7000 Coliseum Way, Oakland.

To date, there are more than 75 employers and community-based organizations confirmed to participate in assisting the formerly incarcerated population to find employment.

The job fair organizers anticipate that there will be more than 1,000 registered job seekers.

The objective of the job fair is to provide local businesses with the opportunity to meet highly skilled, but often overlooked, candidates face-to-face and offer jobs on the spot!!!

Candidates who receive a contingent offer and pass employer pre-screening requirements will have the opportunity to “Ring the Bell,” signifying “I got the job!!” This small but powerful act has been added to motivate, inspire and create excitement to drive the momentum of the event.

There will also be on-site drug screening, assistance with California state IDs, live scan fingerprinting, music, stylists, barbers, and more. This event is open to all job seekers. For more information, please contact Rochelle Baxter Green, ACSSA by email-rbgreen@acgov.org.
