An estimated 70 million people in the U.S. have an arrest or conviction record, and over 600,000 men and women are released from jail each year. Second and fair chance hiring initiatives offer several benefits to individuals, employers, and their communities. Tapping into a talented labor pool, employers are able to meet critical workforce and business needs. Additionally, by providing an opportunity for a fresh start companies give justice-impacted individuals a chance to take care of themselves and their families, and make meaningful contributions to their communities. 

Join the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, April 20 at 3:00 p.m. ET for a conversation on how the public and private sector can work collaboratively to advance impactful second chance hiring initiatives. Featuring policy and business leaders, and other community stakeholders, this program will highlight best practices and strategies for implementing successful second and fair chance hiring initiatives.
