Better Together is breaking down employment barriers by hosting a series of background-friendly job fairs across the country as part of its Nationwide Days of Second Chances. In Punta Gorda, a job fair will be held on Thursday, April 23 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at St. Mary’s Baptist Church, located at 605 Mary St.
To support job seekers who are faced with challenges to re-entering the workforce, Better Together’s Days of Second Chances brings churches, volunteers, businesses and nonprofits together to host a coordinated job fair that features background-friendly employers and provides resources including free one-on-one job coaching sessions to review resumes and interviewing skills, clothing and haircuts. Child care is also available for job seekers with children.
Job seekers and background-friendly employers can register online at BetterTogetherUS.org/NWDSC.
