The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce is hosting a “Morning of Impact” breakfast and clothing drive to support inclusive hiring practices and promote workforce diversity.
The event will take place on Dec. 12 from 8 to 10 a.m. at Life Learning Center — located at 20 W. 18th Street in Covington. The morning will feature a panel discussion and overview of Life Learning Center’s mission with a guided tour of its facility.
Attendees will have the chance to gain insights and resources tailored to help employers understand the benefits of hiring fair chance employees — an approach that opens doors for individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences, including those reentering the workforce.
Featured panelists include Dale Zdolshek, vice president of the Life Learning Center, and Douglas Beard, director of workforce innovation at Brighton Center/Kentucky Career Center.
“Community involvement and corporate citizenship are essential for building an inclusive workforce that benefits all members of Northern Kentucky,” NKY Chamber of Commerce CEO Brent Cooper said in a press release. “Morning of Impact will be a powerful opportunity for our business community to come together in support of workforce inclusivity.”
In addition, guests are encouraged to bring new or gently used professional clothing to donate to Life Learning Center’s Clothing Closet in exchange for free admission. The goal of the drive is to provide program participants with the proper attire needed to enter the workforce.
