Workforce Success Story Submitted By: Pueblo & Upper Arkansas Workforce Sub-areas

Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) staff shortages numbered at over 1,675 resulted in employees being overworked in a stressful and potentially dangerous environment.

Workforce Solution

In the summer of 2022, the Pueblo and Upper Arkansas workforce subareas partnered with CDOC to support their new Fast Track recruiting strategy by offering hybrid job fairs with facility space and the use of Premier Virtual, a virtual job fair technology solution. Candidates in attendance learn about careers, apply and are interviewed at each event.

Over the span of Fast Track events over the summer of 2022, CDOC has hired 169 job seekers, around 30% of which were veterans.
