Turnaround Houston!

Turnaround Houston! LogoTurnaround Houston is a community-driven program that integrates the features of a job fair with those of a resource center. Its primary aim is to enhance the lives of residents by tackling the job training, educational, and employment challenges faced by individuals who find it difficult to secure work, including the unemployed, underemployed, and formerly incarcerated individuals. Through the platform of Readiness Fairs, Turnaround Houston effectively links these individuals with potential employers, as well as with agencies and organizations that offer essential services and resources.

Join us for the Fall Turnaround Houston Job and Readiness Fair on Thursday, September 26, 2024 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Hiram Clarke Multi-Service Center. To register for this event, go to https://houstonobo.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bCRpSR9VNaaorUa.

The event held in December 2023 at the Sunnyside Multi-Service Center was facilitated through a collaboration with the office of Councilwoman Carolyn Evans- Shabazz and Texas Workforce Solutions. Featuring over forty employers, the fair focused on improving the lives of community members by tackling job training, educational opportunities, and employment needs. As a result, more than 20 participants received job offers on the spot, and six others were scheduled for follow-up interviews.
