The Montgomery County district attorney’s office is hosting its fourth Second Chance Job Fair this Thursday.
The fair aims to connect former offenders with businesses who are willing to give them employment opportunities. The DA’s office has said a criminal background is one of the biggest hurdles ex-offenders have to clear when trying to find a job and get back on their feet.
In addition to employers, there will be representatives from Legal Services Alabama and the Montgomery County Circuit Clerk’s Office on hand to help guide ex-offenders through the process of how to file for an expungement. The district attorney’s office says the Second Chance Job Fair has seen a large increases in job applicants every time since its first event in July 2021. They said several job seekers were hired on the spot during the last two job fairs.
