Second Stage Theater To Host Fair Chance Job Fair

6/1/2022 5:04pm


On Mon June 6th, Second Stage Theater (Carole Rothman, President and Artistic Director; Khady Kamara, Executive Director) will host the Fair Chance Job Fair. Fair Chance Hiring (FCH) means that employers refrain from including questions about conviction history in the application process before a job offer is made. This job fair will focus on citizens impacted by the justice system and will connect them with job opportunities and other career resources such as resume writing and interview preparation skills. Second Stage is partnering with the Youth Justice Network and other groups focused on employment services for returning citizens. The Fair Chance Job Fair is part of Second Stage’s social justice initiatives, which were launched in conjunction with last fall’s production of Lynn Nottage’s play, Clyde’s.  In attendance at the job fair will be employers and community programs such as the Saint Nicks Alliance, Defy Ventures, Housing Works Justice Initiatives Reentry Program, Housing Works HR, Exodus Transitional Community, The Public Theater, Roundabout Theater and more. The Fair Chance Job Fair will take place on from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Helen Hayes and the Youth Justice Network Mobile Career Unit, Shifting Gears, at 240 West 44th St. For more information, please email Cassidy Kaye at ckaye@2st.com.  Press contact: Polk & Co (917/261-3988)...
