PITTSFIELD, MA — Berkshire Community College (BCC), in collaboration with the Berkshire County Jail and House of Correction, 2nd Street, Berkshire District Attorney's Office, and MassHire Berkshire Career Center, will hold a 2nd Chances Job and Resource Fair on April 30, 2025 at 4 p.m. in the Berkshire Innovation Center, located at 45 Woodlawn Ave, Pittsfield, MA.
The job fair is free and open to the public. Formerly incarcerated individuals, including those who may have been justice involved and/or who have a Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) file, are particularly encouraged to attend.
Area employers who are interested in participating in the fair must register in advance. Employers must have open positions they are seeking to fill immediately and must have a 2nd chances/CORI-friendly hiring policy.
Transportation: For those in need of transportation, roundtrip shuttle service will be provided to the job fair. Pickup at 3:30 p.m. is available at the following locations:
- Joseph Scelsi Intermodal Transportation Center, 1 Columbus Avenue, Pittsfield
- Rural Recovery Resources, 67 State Road, Great Barrington
- Main Street Bus Stop, 70 Main Street, North Adams
Justice involved individuals, especially the formerly incarcerated, face enormous barriers to employment. This untapped pool of workers can bring great value to employers and communities when given the opportunity to thrive and succeed in the workplace. They are talented and eager to work.
BCC is committed to providing universal access to our events. Contact Jen Hoffman at jhoffman@berkshirecc.edu to request disability accommodations.
