Gwinnett Career & Hiring Fair for Previously Incarcerated People

The Gwinnett County Black Chamber of Commerce understands that rebuilding life after incarceration comes with real challenges—especially when it comes to employment, housing, and access to opportunity. But we also believe that people can learn, grow, and create a brighter future for themselves and their families.

That’s why we are hosting the Gwinnett Career & Hiring Fair for Previously Incarcerated People—a free, community-centered event focused on opening doors and creating real pathways forward.

This is more than a job fair.
This is a Hiring and Resource Event designed to connect returning citizens with opportunities that can change lives.

When: April 30, 2026 | Noon – 3:00 PM
Where: Gwinnett County Public Library – Norcross Branch | 5735 Buford Hwy, Norcross, GA 30071
