Monthly Reentry Job Fairs
June, 2026
JOB FAIRS GOAL: Expanding Employer Participation for Monthly Reentry Job Fairs.
WDB NEED: Increase employer participation and hiring by identifying businesses open to fair chance hiring, with open positions, and close proximity to the job fair location.
By applying disciplined, repeatable search criteria to the monthly reentry job fair program—from fair-chance and open positions to geolocation-based searches—workforce boards can strengthen their outreach strategies. Moreover, they can increase employer participation. As a result, they can secure more job placements for people returning from incarceration.
Search for employers in the region that are open to hiring justice-involved individuals. Target healthy and hiring companies and request their participation at local job fairs. Succeed when participating companies hire individuals looking to reenter the marketplace.
