Re-Entry
Fair - Oct 7th
Asian Resources Inc. (ARI) has always been one of the first
agencies to recognize the current needs of the community. In 2005, the
Broadway
Career
Center hosted by Asian Resources,
Inc. under the direction of the Site Supervisor, Mary Garza, organized the
initial Broadway Career Center Ex-Offender Job Fair targeting the recently
released population from incarceration. The event drew several hundred job
seekers from all over Northern California.
Last year with over 200 participants attending and over 21
direct hires, the numbers speaks for the success of this event. Our goal is to
have the Job Fair annually and keep enlarging the pool of employers available
for the at risk population. Future suggestions include resume preparation and
interviewing skills prior to the Job Fair.
