When outreaching to job seekers to inform them of the positions and benefits available working for IRS:CI, there are several ways contact is made. Outreaching includes going to university and college job fairs, presenting, and answering questions through virtual jobs fairs, and partnering with local, state, and federal agencies. One recent instance of collaboration with a state agency occurred last November, when IRS:CI and the Taxpayer Advocate Service partnered with the Louisiana Workforce Commission (LWC) to hold a job fair in Metairie, La. The LWC created flyers announcing the job fair, provided a news release to media outlets announcing the time, date, and location, as well as posting the information to their social media pages. The LWC brought their Mobile Workforce Center on the day of the event where job applicants could make or update their profiles on USAJobs.gov. The USAJob.gov website is where job seekers can apply for positions with the federal government. During the job fair, personnel from the LWC assisted job seekers as needed. The IRS:CI Atlanta Field Office appreciates LWC’s effort and partnership in helping Louisianans learn about the opportunities available in the IRS. The video provides a look at how LWC provided support to the IRS at the job fair. #IRSJobs #LWC #LaWorks #partnerships

I love my job so much, it's not the salary because working for an NGO means I don't earn that much, but the impact we have on individuals who are most vulnerable, yet highly talented, skilled at different levels, who bring so much beauty to Ireland, we will continue to thrive as a country only when we open doors to the individuals who came to seek sanctuary in Ireland, one way it is to offer employment opportunities. My database is growing I have individuals who are ready to get into employment either have the Labor Market Access Permission (work permit) or their international protection status, to give a picture of a few here are experienced individuals 1. In Human Resource 2. Construction and Qualified Plumber 3. Woodwork and Agriculture. 4. Financial background 5. A new Mom looking for a remote job, as a qualified Financial Analyst. 6.

Earlier today…another employment weekly job fair at The Cherry Hill. It was a sigh of relief to notice new fresh new exhibitors/recruiters in attendance. Another great thing regarding the fair….even though there were the same companies that exhibited/recruited as previous job fairs it was a sigh of relief to see new individuals. While leaving the fair developed the mentality of fresh new faces/new individuals to meet, a sign of potential of new things on the horizon/the potential that good things are on their way as far as VoiceOver opportunities.

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
