FAMILIES Of All Murder Victims (FOAM) organisation is empowering the community one step at a time, by hosting a job fair inclusive of legal assistance to expunge minor infractions from people’s police records, free legal and immigration consultation, along with other services geared towards gainful employment.

The event will be held on May 11 at RM Bailey Park 11am-4pm under the theme “Empowering You for the Future.”

Khandi Gibson, founder and president of FOAM said on Friday there is a large number of people who are seeking employment but don’t have the necessary resources to apply for a job or be qualified.

Ms Gibson highlighted some individuals are unemployed because they’re unable to get a minor infraction expunged from their police record, leaving them in a vulnerable state. However, she said Minister of National Security Wayne Munroe along with officials from the expunge record team are expected to offer assistance at the fair.

Several attorneys will also facilitate legal advice to those who may be having troubles but can’t afford to hire a legal professional.

Additionally, Job seekers will be able to apply for jobs on the spot with the various businesses who’ve partnered up with FOAM for the event. These businesses include Island Luck, Aetos Holding Limited, and AML Foods Limited. The National Training Agency and National Health Insurance (NHI) will also provide services. In terms of health, there will be a free health screening.

Other free services offered are creating resumes, signing of passports, and pictures.

Ms Gibson urged the public to take advantage of the number of free services. “Come on down your life will never be the same. Because FOAM cares we want you to be there,” she said.
