2nd Chance Job Fair scheduled for Wednesday
(Seguin) – Finding a job can already be a tough and stressful thing. So, now imagine how even more challenging it is for those who have been incarcerated and are needing a second chance. Well, that second chance will come their way this Wednesday. The New Braunfels Food Bank will be partnering with Workforce Solutions Alamo and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for its 2nd Chance Job Fair.

Organizers say the job fair will feature over 25 employers who are actively hiring and who have friendly policies for job seekers with a background.

Organizers say the job fair helps those who have been in jail and works to reestablish them in the community.

The event will also include free professional head shots, community resources and a chance to win a MacBook Pro.

The job fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday at the New Braunfels Food Bank located at 1620 S. Seguin Ave.
