SUMMARY:MAX Academy on Supporting Second Chance Employers
DESCRIPTION:The Metro Atlanta eXchange for Workforce Solutions (MAX) is hosting MAX Academy: Supporting Second Chance Employers on Thursday\, October 2\, 2025\, from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM\, at Atlanta Technical College – Cleveland L. Dennard Conference Center. \nHeld in partnership with Project Restart\, Fair Chance Advisory\, the Georgia Justice Project\, and the Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO)\, the next MAX Academy will focus on supporting second chance employers through metro Atlanta’s workforce ecosystem. Second chance employers are businesses that intentionally hire individuals impacted by the justice system\, providing them with an opportunity to rebuild their lives and reintegrate into society. Second-chance hiring recognizes that all individuals can be valuable employees and contribute meaningfully to not only the employer but our society at-large. It offers a win-win situation for both the employers and our justice-impacted neighbors. \nExamples of the benefits of second-chance hiring include: \n\nProvides employers with opportunities to access a skilled and loyal talent pool\, reduce employee turnover\, and foster a more inclusive workplace culture.\nProvides individuals impacted by the justice system with opportunities to build a positive work history and experience personal and professional growth\, while earning a livable\, sustainable wage.\nReduces recidivism and therefore future crime.\n\nThis MAX Academy includes a Second Chance Employers Roundtable with the aforementioned partners that brings together second chance employers\, workforce developers\, and re-entry advocates to address hiring practices and uncover solutions for expanding access to justice-impacted talent. \nThis MAX Academy will take place on Thursday\, October 2\, 2025\, from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM\, at Atlanta Technical College – Dennard Conference Center. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. \nClick here to register. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \nAs a result of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nLearn about second chance employers and their hiring needs and processes.\nBetter communicate with key partners in the second-chance hiring process (employers\, supportive service providers\, fellow workforce professionals)..\nLearn how to better position justice impacted individuals for second chance hiring opportunities.\n\nCREDENTIALED TRAINING \nThis MAX Academy will be submitted to the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) for approval as training counting toward continuing education hours (CEUs) for Certified Rehabilitation Counselors (CRCs). Special thanks to Goodwill of North Georgia for serving as the sponsor with the CRCC for the MAX Academy. \nBoth the International Association of Workforce Professionals (IAWP) and the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals (NAWDP) recognize training programs held through the MAX Academy as relevant training hours for their certification programs. Hours spent attending MAX Academy workshops can count as training hours for earning a Certified Workforce Professional (CWP) credential from IAWP and also as professional development (continuing education) hours for CWP recertification. For NAWDP’s Certified Workforce Development Professional (CWDP)\, NAWDP will accept MAX Academy training hours toward the professional development hours required for CWDP recertification. \nREGISTRATION \nJoin us for a day of learning and networking! The registration fee for this training is $25.00 for MAX members and $45.00 for non-members. \nBecause we recognize the value of having multiple team members from the same organization participate so concepts and practices may be discussed and reinforced\, discounts are available when multiple staff from the same agency register for the workshop as follows: \nMAX Members: $25.00 for the first registration and $15.00 for each additional registration from the same organization. \nNon-Members: $45.00 for the first registration and $35.00 for each additional registration from the same organization. \nClick here to register. \nABOUT THE MAX ACADEMY \nLaunched in 2014\, the mission of MAX is to advance economic resilience in the Atlanta region by strengthening connections\, collaborations\, and practices among workforce developers and organizations engaged in workforce development. \nThe MAX Academy offers professional development and capacity building training workshops to help workforce development professionals develop new skills\, learn best practices\, and engage in peer-to-peer learning.
