The Berkshire County 2nd Chances Job and Resource Fair will be held on April 30, 2025 at 4 p.m. in the Berkshire Innovation Center, located at 45 Woodlawn Ave, Pittsfield, MA.
Berkshire Community College (BCC), in collaboration with Berkshire County Jail and House of Correction, 2nd Street, Berkshire District Attorney's Office, MassHire Berkshire Career Center and Berkshire Innovation Center, will host this event.
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. The registration deadline is April 23, 2025, or until filled. Employers must have open positions they are seeking to fill immediately and must have a second chances/CORI-friendly hiring policy.
Transportation: For those in need of transportation, roundtrip shuttle service will be provided to the job fair. Details coming soon.
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 us at jhoffman@berkshirecc.edu to request disability accommodations.
