Introduction

The City of Springfield’s Office of Community Relations purpose is to assist

our citizens in changing negative experiences into something positive. Our goal is

to provide support to members of our community with a difficult past, by

distributing a community employment directory. In addition to this, we want to

identify available resources to help our constituents have successful employment

opportunities and improve the quality of life for everyone.

Included in the Community Employment Connection Directory is a list of

employers that considers all applicants for employment opportunities. In addition

to the list of employers that hire individuals with a difficult past, there is also a

Community Resource Guide. The Community Resource Guide is a list of

organizations that may provide support for the job-hunt process. These

organizations provide resume workshops, free computer access, interview tips,

interview clothes, and information on housing.

The City of Springfield’s Office of Community Relations would like to

thank all our partnering organizations and employers for their participation. It is

our hope that businesses, organizations, and jobseekers create a lasting connection.

Good luck on your job search!
