    FEBRUARY LIVE WEBINAR:

    What’s Next Washington & Hiring FIT (Formerly Incarcerated Talent)

    Black, Brown, Native, LGBTQI, and women from all demographics suffer the most during
    economic downturns. Post-Covid19 economic recovery plans must include everyone.

    An astonishing 70 million Americans have a conviction history. By 2030 that number will be 100
    million - one-in-three working adults (USDOJ). That means employers do and will routinely
    interview people with conviction histories. To achieve an equitable and inclusive recovery,
    employers will need the right recruiting, hiring, and retention tools - developed by the directly
    impacted - to onboard and retain this overlooked pool of talent.

    Presented by: Susan Mason & Roz Solomon
