On April 30 the Center for Employment Opportunities San Jose will host an Open House themed “Game Plan for Opportunity” to mark Fair Chance Month and demonstrate how targeted programs clear paths for justice-impacted residents to build stable careers.
The evening at 521 Parrott Street runs from 4:30 to 7:00 PM and features facility tours that let visitors see training rooms in action. Program participants and alumni will share personal accounts of moving from incarceration through life-skills development and transitional employment into full-time positions. Local employers and partners will join discussions on the practical benefits of fair-chance hiring practices.
CEO operates a model proven across 30 cities in 12 states. Daily-pay transitional jobs provide immediate structure and income while job coaching and advanced training prepare individuals for roles in high-demand fields. San Jose’s location benefits from this framework tailored to the area’s dynamic job market, delivering measurable gains in employment retention and community stability.
Plan to attend if your work or interests align with building stronger economic pathways. The open format encourages direct conversations that often spark new collaborations right on the spot.
