Kentucky Chamber Foundation Workforce Recovery Fair Chance Academy Application

**Please read before completing the application**

The Kentucky Chamber Foundation’s Workforce Recovery Program is hosting another Fair Chance Academy! The Fair Chance Academy aims to provide businesses with training and experiences to adopt a Fair Chance workplace that provides transformational employment successfully. A total of 20 companies will be selected for Cohort IV. The selected businesses will attend three (3) sessions of training and workshops, followed by implementing actionable steps to prepare for being transformational employers with the assistance of the Workforce Recovery Program. This initiative bridges the gap between businesses' need for employees and those in active recovery or returning citizens to find meaningful employment.  After attending The Fair Chance Academy, Kentucky businesses are equipped with the tools and resources to help them successfully hire, train, and retain exceptional talent and be on the road to becoming transformational employers.  We invite you to apply for this cohort of the Fair Chance Academy!
