Delaware Business Times: JPMorgan Chase & Co. and the Responsible Business Initiative for Justice (RBIJ) will be launching an equitable hiring initiative to shore up Wilmington’s workforce by working with 10 employers to train them on updated screening processes to help reduce barriers to employment.

“This initiative allows state agencies with jobs in our state's largest city to break down barriers to employment and open doors for overlooked talent."

Claire DeMatteis, Secretary, Delaware Department of Human Resources (DHR)

PRNewswire: "Delaware is home to a vast, untapped talent pool of 'hidden workers' — individuals too often overlooked by traditional hiring practices. This phenomenon not only deprives businesses of valuable talent, but limits the economic potential of entire communities," said Maha Jweied, CEO of RBIJ.

“DTC is excited to participate in a project that expands fair access to promising job opportunities in transit and other industries across Wilmington.”
