The Morris/Sussex Vicinage plans to host a job fair for probation clients, recovery court participants and the general public May 18, according to the New Jersey Superior Court.

For the event, which is part of the Judiciary Opportunities for Building Success (JOBS) Program, the court has partnered with local employers and social services agencies to connect clients and participants with open positions and employment resources.

The program is scheduled for 10 a.m. at the Morris County Public Safety Training Academy (500 W. Hanover Ave., Parsippany). It will include representatives from Amazon, the New Jersey Department of Labor & Workforce Development, County College of Morris, Sussex County Community College, Atlantic Health System and Zufall Health.

Along with discussing employment and/or educational opportunities in the area, select employers will conduct on-the-spot job interviews, according to the court.

Vicinage Probation Division Manager Michael Lasko said, “This is a great opportunity to link clients to a variety of career paths offered by employers in our area. We have a strong partnership with our local one-stop career centers, which offer services to improve the lives of our clients while simultaneously enhancing an employer’s ability to meet the demands of a competitive job market. A client’s success depends on a collaborative relationship and support from our community partners. The JOBS initiative improves their potential to achieve positive behavioral change.”
