Blog Post: Event Dedicated to Helping IE Ex-Offenders Find Gainful Employment

This event will provide attendees with workshops and one-on-one sessions throughout the day that are focused on a variety of topics like expungement, financial advice and resume writing. While this event is not a job fair, these activities are designed to provide local ex-offenders with the resources they need to improve their lives.  

“There is a large untapped skilled labor force of people needing employment”, says Jodie Knez, U.S. Probation Officer. “While they are people who have made a mistake and have a felony on their record they are eager to prove that they are qualified to be employed”.

Many local organizations have come together to sponsor the New Beginnings Resource Day including Jobing.com, FLO 93.5 FM, Riverside County Department of Public Social Services GAIN, Gain, The Riverside Public Defender’s Office, Workforce Development of Riverside County, Springboard, tat 2 be gone, Servant’s Heart, Habbib Catering and the Taco Man Restaurant.

“Being armed with the right information and resources is key to finding successful employment”, says Katey Darling, Community Relations Director for Jobing.com. “We are proud to be a sponsor of this event to help ex-offenders get their lives back and begin down a new path that will better serve themselves, their families and their community”.
