UPWARD
An Employer Symposium on Second Chance Hiring

Every year, over 11,000 people are released from jail and prison to the District of Columbia – and how we respond matters. 

UPWARD invites hiring managers, DEI professionals, and human resources staff from ALL industries to come explore best practices for hiring formerly incarcerated citizens and learn how to create inclusive workplaces that foster equitable opportunities and economic mobility. 

Join us for breakfast, networking, a keynote speaker, panel of employers and job trainers, and a robust breakout session to help you give returning citizens an opportunity to thrive in your workplace. Special thanks to Deloitte for donating its space and resources! 

Thursday, April 13th, 2023 • Virtual & In-Person • 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM • Deloitte • 1919 North Lynn Street #Suite 1500 Arlington, VA 22209
