The Second Chance Hiring Alliance (SCHA) creates more employment opportunities for justice-impacted individuals by educating and empowering D.C.-area employers.
We engage stakeholders including justice impacted job seekers, employers, and employment support providers who touch every piece of the second chance hiring process from job-training and workforce development to recruitment and retention.
By strengthening relationships and facilitating collaboration between prospective employers and the organizations that work directly with justice-impacted job seekers, and by raising awareness around the importance of second chance hiring, we believe we can significantly increase the numbers of justice-impacted individuals who are able to find sustainable-wage jobs and fulfilling careers.
