Liberty was proud to sponsor the annual job fair which allowed us to meet and interview diverse job seekers. ` Second Chance Recruiting extends job opportunities to individuals recently released from prison. To support this programming in 2023, we attended quarterly virtual job fairs and guaranteed any person who attended an automatic interview upon release if they chose to apply. We have also sponsored several of the Second Chance Job Fairs hosted by The Saint Louis University’s Transformative Academy. This initiative reflects our commitment to offering a chance for stable employment to those seeking a fresh start. Our commitment is reflected by our nearly 200 Second Chance employees who contribute to our collective success and growth every day. ` Our partnership with the Saint Louis County Probation and Parole offices advertises our available positions via quarterly flyers. These job postings and applications were dropped off at area probation and parole offices to provide any individual on parole the information necessary to apply. ` Our partnership with the Professional Diversity Network (PDN) connects diverse professionals with employers. PDN supports various minority communities, including women, Hispanic and Latino professionals, African Americans, Asian Americans, persons with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ individuals. ` By the end of 2024, we aim to utilize Career One Stop and Military Transition Center for all job postings.
