Volusia County Corrections Plans Job Fair

Posted On: July 31, 2025

Volusia County is giving inmates a pathway to employment — and a better future — through its fourth Second Chance Job Fair, taking place from 9 to 11 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 7, at the Volusia County Correctional Facility, 1354 Indian Lake Road, Daytona Beach. Members of the media are invited to attend to capture videos, take photos, and conduct interviews with participating inmates, employers, and Volusia County officials.

This event also marks the one-year anniversary of the Second Chance Job Fair initiative, which launched in August 2024. The fair connects inmates nearing release with local employers, reducing the likelihood of recidivism by providing participants with job opportunities upon exit from incarceration. It also enables businesses to connect with motivated candidates who are ready to enter the workforce.

Due to growing interest from employers, the event has been moved from the Branch Jail to the Correctional Facility to accommodate a larger turnout. More than 25 companies will be attending the fair.

The fair is hosted in partnership with the Port Orange South Daytona Chamber of Commerce. For access or additional information, media representatives may contact Pat Kuehn at pkuehn@volusia.org.
