2018 SOBE Hiring Event

— City to Host Job Fair for the Homeless on Wednesday, October 24 —

Join the City of Miami Beach, in partnership with CareerSource South Florida, for a truly promising job fair on Wednesday, October 24 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Connecting homeless persons seeking work with employers ready to hire, the City’s inaugural SOBE Hiring Event directly connects the two parties in hopes of supporting a homeless individuals’ transition from the streets to independent living.

“A job isn’t just a means of making a living, it’s a person’s ticket out,” shared Director of Housing and Community Services Maria Ruiz. “It’s a freedom many of us take for granted. One that allows you to take a rein on your life, gives you a sense of meaning and pride, welcomes you back into society and most of all – grants you the freedom to build the life you want. The goal is to ensure that every individual that is eager for a job, is left with a sense of duty and accomplishment.”

Providing transportation to and from shelters to facilitate attendance, the City will be extending services to all of its clients in shelter, including those at The Salvation Army, Camillus House and Miami Rescue Mission. Graduates and past participants of the City’s Homeless Employment Program managed by H.O.P.E. in Miami-Dade County are also encouraged to attend.

Men’s Warehouse will be ensuring homeless job seekers are dressed for success by donating tailored business suits and shoes to these individuals.
