Job Fair

Are you looking for a new job? Do you have employment barriers?

We have good news! There is a Second Chance Job Fair planned for YOU on October 14, 2026 in Cape Coral, FL! This job fair is open to all job seekers with an emphasis on those who are looking for background-friendly employers.

This job fair will be unique and embodies a culture of celebration! We will have various resources and services onsite, in addition to on-the-spot interviews! Our mission is to create a welcoming and empowering environment where individuals facing employment barriers are seen, known, and loved.

Grace Church strives to connect job seekers with opportunities, resources, and relationships that foster dignity, build confidence, and inspire hope. Through collaboration with community partners and background-friendly employers, we help open doors to meaningful work and a brighter future, believing that every person has value, purpose, and the potential for success.

Employability Skills Workshop

Get Ready for the Job Fair


To better set you up for success, we’re offering a special Job Readiness Workshop on October 9.

This free workshop is designed especially for individuals who may have faced barriers to employment and want to feel more prepared and confident when meeting employers at the Second Chance Job & Resource Event.

During the workshop, you’ll get practical, hands-on help to:

  • Build or improve your resume and learn how to highlight your strengths, skills, and experience.
  • Practice interviewing, including how to confidently answer difficult questions about employment gaps, background challenges, or your past.
  • Prepare to meet employers by learning which companies will be at the Job Fair and what types of positions they are looking to fill.
  • Build confidence so you can walk into the Job Fair prepared to take your next step.


Whether you’re starting over, returning to the workforce, or just need some help getting ready, we’re here to help you put your best foot forward.

Employers & Resource Partners

We’d love for you to be part of this life-changing day by offering opportunities, services, and encouragement to our job seekers.

If you’re an employer, we’d especially love for you and your hiring team to be onsite to meet candidates face-to-face, conduct interviews, and extend real second-chance job opportunities.

If you’re a resource partner, your programs and services—whether they help with housing, education, training, recovery, legal support, mental health or other areas—play a vital role in helping job seekers remove barriers and move toward lasting stability.

Together, employers and resource providers create the network of support that makes second chances possible.
