Workforce Re-entry: A Community Conversation

November 12 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Please join us for a panel discussion with representatives from Dalen Products, KARM, Men of Valor, and Modern Working Moms.

Join us virtually for a panel discussion featuring Bob Teska, President of Dalen Products; Jeremy Thornburg, Director of Men’s Guest Development at Knox Area Rescue Ministries; Kimberly O’Neal, Founder and CEO of Modern Working Moms; and Kris Boyd, Re-entry Manager at Men of Valor.

Together, they will explore the challenges and opportunities surrounding workforce re-entry and how businesses can help justice-involved individuals, individuals experiencing housing instability, and mothers successfully return to the workforce.

Panelists will discuss what employers should consider when evaluating candidates, strategies for creating supportive hiring and retention practices, and the community resources available to help individuals and businesses navigate the process.

Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how to connect with this often overlooked talent pool and how expanding access to employment can benefit both businesses and the individuals they hire.
