Turnaround Houston!

Turnaround Houston! LogoTurnaround Houston! is an initiative launched by Mayor Sylvester Turner in efforts to address the barriers to employment that many Houstonians face. Turnaround Houston offers access to job training, resume writing, tattoo removal, social service agencies, educational institutions, counseling and intervention to help hard to employ Houstonians turn their lives around.

Join us for the Fall Turnaround Houston Job and Readiness Fair on Thursday, September 21, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Emancipation Cultural Center. To register for this event, go to https://wrkjobfair092123JS.eventbrite.com.
