Strategies to recruit and retain a fair-chance workforce are more popular than ever. We will explore why recruiting a justice-involved workforce makes good business sense. We will discuss different programs available to help businesses navigate this new workforce, and we will hear from people on the ground doing this good work right now!

Presenters:

  • Jason Pangiarella - NW Minnesota Job Service Supervisor, Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development
  • Dara Strickland - HR Manager, Repowered
  • Ryan Strong - Strategic Sourcing Manager and Procurement Specialist, New Flyer

We encourage you to stay for our optional “Workforce Wednesday: Unplugged” immediately following the event for an extra 30 minutes of Q & A and the opportunity to turn your camera on, unmute yourself, and ask questions directly to the Regional Workforce Strategy Consultants, as well as the session’s panelists.
