United States Attorney’s Office Co-Sponsors Job Fair, Indiana 2017
Indianapolis – United States Attorney Josh J. Minkler and partners announced a partnership to help bring community-wide resources and a job fair to individuals returning to Central Indiana after having been incarcerated.
The job fair, held on Friday, April 7, 2017, from 11:00am – 2:00pm, at Light of the World Christian Church, 4646 North Michigan Road, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46228, aimed to provide formerly incarcerated individuals with the opportunity to connect with local employers and community service providers.
“Helping citizens return to a normal life after prison is a responsibility we all shoulder,” said Minkler. “Getting someone on their feet with a job, transportation, a place to live and a support system reduces crime and recidivism.”
The U.S. Attorney’s Office Smart on Crime Initiative, in collaboration with Indiana University McKinney School of Law and Public Advocates in Community re-Entry (PACE), hosted the resource and job fair for formerly incarcerated individuals.
“At McKinney, the law school has a demonstrated commitment to helping individuals re-enter into society,” said Dean Andrew Klein. “Professors, staff, and law students work with community agencies throughout the year to provide a supportive network to those newly released persons seeking independence and stability outside of the prison walls.”
The job fair featured a range of employers, including the City of Indianapolis-Marion County Human Resource Division, Marriott Hotels, Goodwill, Fed Ex, and many more, all hoping to fill various positions. Community service providers, such as the Indiana Department of Workforce Development and PACE, also participated in the event.
Members of the McKinney Law School community managed the resource fair with assistance from Faegre Baker Daniels, Indiana Legal Services, Inc., and lawyers from the community interested in offering assistance.
“PACE has been dedicated to serving those returning to our community for more than 50 years,” said Rhiannon T. Edwards, PACE Executive Director. “We are committed to ensuring that everyone receives a second chance and are thrilled to be partnering with the United States Attorney’s Office on this job fair.”
The job fair aimed to provide returning citizens with the opportunity to connect with useful re-entry and community agencies that will help provide referrals and resources to enhance their employment opportunities.
