Martin University and the Indiana Department of Correction will host a job fair for formerly incarcerated people from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 25 at Martin’s campus, 2186 N. Sherman Drive.
The job fair is free and open to all, but it will be geared toward people who are re-entering the workforce after being in prison. If you plan to attend, you should bring multiple copies of your resume and have reliable transportation, according to a news release from Martin University.
A variety of employers will be at the event to talk to prospective employees, including IndyGo, the Central Midwest Carpenters Union, Goodwill and Superior Metal Technologies.
Community organizations such as Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana and Use What You’ve Got Prison Ministry, which provides transportation so people can visit their incarcerated family members, will also be at the event.
