Better Together is breaking down employment barriers by hosting a series of background-friendly job fairs across the country on April 16 and 18 as part of its Nationwide Days of Second Chances. For the Ocala region, a job fair will be held April 18 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Breadbreakers Church, located at 7325 E. Highway 25 in Belleview.  

To support job seekers who are faced with challenges to re-entering the workforce, Better Together’s Days of Second Chances brings churches, volunteers, businesses and nonprofits together to host a coordinated job fair day that features background-friendly employers and provides resources including free one-on-one job coaching sessions to review resumes and interviewing skills, clothing and haircuts.  

Job seekers and background-friendly employers can register online at BetterTogetherUS.org/Events/NWDSC-2024/.
