Today, on Labor Day, let's honor all the hardworking individuals who contribute to our society, those who work and those who want to work. Immigrants, as a labor force, have also played a crucial role in building our nation. Their diverse skills, resilience, and cultural contributions have enriched our communities and economies. Here are some facts about Labor Day: 1. It became a US federal holiday in 1894. 2. Oregon was the first state to celebrate it 1882. 3. It is always celebrated on the first Monday of September. 4. It is considered the unofficial end of summer because the first day of school begins for many schools with traditional rather than year-round calendars. 5. Most importantly, Labor Day commemorates the contributions of working people throughout the country and the world. Join our Level-Up Job Fair on Thursday, October 17 and hire qualified candidates. Together, we can build a stronger and more inclusive workforce. #LaborDay #ImmigrantWorkers #Diversity #Inclusion #ThankYou #JobFair #Hiring #CareerOpportunities #LevelUp

In recognition of National 2nd Chance Month, Westwood Church will be hosting a 2nd Chance Job Fair and Employment Readiness Event. We are looking for more businesses to join us. There are many reasons why companies should hire those who are formally incarcerated. These include: Employee retention: Having a criminal background makes an employee less likely to leave a job voluntarily, likely to have a higher tenure, and no more likely to be terminated. Recidivism reduction: People with criminal backgrounds with employment only have a 16% recidivism rate after three years, compared to 52% of those unemployed. Stimulates the economy: Employing just 100 people with criminal backgrounds would increase their income tax contributions by $1.9 million and boost sales tax revenues by $770,000. It would also save the government millions in criminal justice fees. Encourages self-improvement: Employing people with criminal backgrounds gives them a drive and purpose, which creates a positive change not only in their lives but also in the broader society. If you are interested in having a table at this 2nd Chance Job Fair, or have any questions, please send me an email at matt.moeller@westwoodcc.org

HUGE NEWS: employer registration for the National Plaintiffs' Law Association's second ever job fair is live! https://lnkd.in/gHgPytQP The National Plaintiffs' Law Association is a community of students, alumni, and plaintiffs' attorneys passionate about increasing law student access to and awareness of opportunities in plaintiffs-side representation. Our annual job fair is a cornerstone of that mission. Created as an alternative to on-campus recruiting programs that funnel rising 2L towards large defense firms, we had more than 400 student sign-ups last year—our first ever event! This year, we want to do even more. The virtual job fair—where employers can use our digital platform to schedule and host their interviews—will run from August 5-8th, but we want this program to be valuable outside of that one week. With big law summer recruiting happening earlier and earlier, we're planning on launching our digital platform on June 17, allowing students to know their options and see a comprehensive list of plaintiffs' side employers early in their job search. Don't wait: sign up today! https://lnkd.in/gHgPytQP

Ok, so... I’ve always been behind the scenes, but it’s time to start sharing the work that truly inspires me and the things I’m passionate about, with the thought of motivating and inspiring others towards inclusion and sustainability. Plus, a little bit of self-branding doesn't hurt right! 🙃 19th September 2024: I had the privilege of initiating and leading Punjab’s first-ever Job Fair for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), bringing together over 1,400 PWDs and 20 employers. The energy and commitment to building a more inclusive workforce were truly inspiring! This initiative is part of a larger model I’ve developed to ensure that PWDs not only find jobs but are also integrated into workplaces in a sustainable and impactful way. We’re not stopping here—next up is Karachi, and I’m excited to see this movement grow across Pakistan. I’m posting here because I’ve realized how important it is to showcase the work we do, the goals we strive for, and the change we want to see. Here’s to pushing boundaries, creating opportunities, and making inclusion a reality. P.S. Expect to see a lot more of my work for inclusion and hit me up whenever you feel like I can help you, in any way, with DEI in your industry. #Inclusion #DEI #PWDs #DevelopmentPractice #InclusiveWorkplaces #Textile
✨ Inside Punjab’s First Job Fair for Persons with Disabilities 💼 On behalf of the German development cooperation, we proudly led the first-ever Inclusivity Drive: Job Fair for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in Punjab. Organised in collaboration with the Pakistan Business and Disability Network (PBDN) by Employers' Federation of Pakistan and Hamza Foundation Academy for the Deaf, the event showcased the power of multi-stakeholder collaboration by bringing together the private sector, civil society, and public institutions to promote inclusive employment. ✅ With 1,400 PWDs and 20 employers from leading industries participating, the job fair demonstrated our collective commitment to creating equitable opportunities. The attendance of the Special Education Department Punjab underscored the importance of sustained cross-sector cooperation. 🤝 Together with our partners, we are committed to build on this success by offering post-induction team development workshops and sign language training to the employers of PWDs from this job fair, ensuring long-term inclusion in the workplace. Thanks to our joint efforts, we’ve taken a meaningful step towards a more inclusive society where everyone’s potential is valued. #Inclusion #InclusiveEmployment #EmpoweringPWDs #JobFair #Recruitment #GIZPakistan Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH
