SCI Fayette's Education Department held their annual Job Fair this summer. This year, approximately 230 inmates participated in the fair that took place on Wednesday, July 17. Inmates who were invited to attend included those who are within a year to their minimum release and/or maximum release date. This year, Fayette had two different sessions, lasting an hour and a half each, with the goal being for the inmates to visit each "booth" that may be of interest to them in regards to their release. This year, Fayette had 22 outside agencies attend the fair, which was more than double the amount of last year's attendees! Those agencies that attended included the following: Bureau of Offender Reentry and Community Outreach Division, PA Housing Finance Agency, Bureau of Community Corrections, Auberle, Fair Housing Law Center and Southwestern PA Legal Services, CareerLink, Manchester Bidwell Corporation, Triangle Tech, Elite Staffing, Amachi, The Program, East Side Laser Center, Parole ASCRA, Mental Health Association in PA, Liberty Ministries, Private Industry Council, Salvation Army, Goodwill, Alle Kiski/GEO Group, PA Department of Banking and Securities, Renewal, and Mon Valley Initiative. Along with the opportunity for the inmates to visit each agency, each inmate was given a folder, containing information for release related to housing, legal concerns, and employment opportunities.
