WHAT: Career Opportunities and Expo
WHEN: Thursday, August 23 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.
WHERE: Arthur Ashe Athletic Center 3001 North Boulevard
BACKGROUND:
As part of a continuous effort to assist the citizens of Richmond, and those
who have experienced obstacles in their past during their pursuit of
employment, the Richmond Police Department is proud to partner with Richmond
Public Schools, Project Give Back to Community, and the Carol Adams Foundation
to host the inaugural Career Opportunities and Expo.
The event is free and
anyone from the public is encouraged to attend. There will be over 40 employers
on site to speak with citizens interested in employment opportunities and offer
resume assistance. There will be giveaways every hour.
“This event is another
way the Department is working with partners in our community to empower people
of all ages and background,” said Chief Alfred Durham. “We want to
assist in providing resources and opportunities for returning citizens so they
do not resort back to a life of crime.”
Along with career
guidance, there will also be representatives on site to speak with citizens
about affordable housing options.
“Community together
promotes public safety,” said Clovia Lawrence with Project Give Back to
Community.
