Event Description: This FREE training is for business owners and hiring managers. Did you know that more than 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. has an arrest or conviction? But most people have a criminal record for minor offenses or for incidents from decades ago. When qualified applicants are excluded from the workforce, families and communities are adversely affected. Employment is inextricably linked to the economic health and overall prosperity of our county. Research shows that the loss of production of people with criminal records costs the U.S. between $57-65 billion annually, and incarceration decreases income by 40%, impacting hundreds of local families. However, there are solutions that can not only help decrease this impact, but increase the bottom line of our local businesses. Please join us for a two-hour event that will include presentations and practical tools from renowned employment law attorneys, public safety professionals and local employers with successful business models for hiring people with criminal records. At our event, you will: *Learn to manage the risks and liabilities associated with hiring applicants with criminal records *Understand the laws prohibiting blanket exclusions of applicants with any form of criminal history *Receive information about local resources to help grow your business and your bottom line through hiring subsidies and incentives *Hear stories of local employers and employees with success in hiring "re-entry" applicants with records
