This phenomenon not only deprives businesses of valuable talent, but limits the economic potential of entire communities,\" said Maha Jweied, CEO of RBIJ. \"RBIJ is thrilled to oversee this project and work alongside leaders in the Wilmington community to help employers revitalize their talent pipelines, embrace these deserving candidates, and ensure everyone has a fair chance at financial freedom.\"\nAcross Delaware, businesses are grappling with persistent labor shortages, with only 63 available workers for every 100 open jobs. Despite these challenges, many employers continue to rely on automated screening processes that inadvertently uphold hiring biases or exclude candidates without traditional qualifications. This approach both stifles businesses' ability to recruit quality talent and creates unnecessary barriers to employment for Wilmington residents, hindering the city's collective prosperity.\nThe DE EHI project is designed to help employers address these shortcomings by unlocking the enormous potential of Wilmington's \"hidden workers,\" a diverse group that includes caregivers, veterans, immigrants, individuals that have been justice-impacted, and more. RBIJ has been tapped to develop the infrastructure for DE EHI with the goal of building the capacity of local partners within the Delaware workforce ecosystem to lead the effort and scale it across the state.\nBy joining forces with businesses and community-based organizations, RBIJ will equip participating employers with hiring processes that more effectively open doors for candidates of diverse backgrounds and experiences. Employers will receive personalized technical assistance, connections to industry experts and workforce resources, and opportunities for peer-to-peer learning. The project sets out to build a network of businesses committed to equitable hiring and sustaining long-term career opportunities, particularly in ZIP codes 19801, 19802, and 19805.\n\"JPMorganChase is proud to support the Delaware Equitable Hiring Initiative, a project that strengthens our portfolio of systems-change investments to advance inclusivity and opportunity in the workplace,\" said Tom Horne, Delaware Market Leader for JPMorganChase. \"As an employer that actively prioritizes inclusive hiring, we know how targeted resources can transform lives and business success.\"\nThe Delaware Transit Corporation (DTC), a division of the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), and the Delaware Department of Human Resources (DHR) recently joined the project as the first partner employers, highlighting the far-reaching potential to impact Wilmington families for the better. \"DTC is excited to participate in a project that expands fair access to promising job opportunities in transit and other industries across Wilmington. We celebrate and believe that each member of our community can contribute to our shared success,\" said John Sisson, CEO of DTC.\n\"As a partner in the Delaware Equitable Hiring Initiative, DHR renews our commitment to expanding state job opportunities for Wilmington residents. The State of Delaware offers competitive salaries, superior healthcare and pension benefits, alternative work schedules, and highly diversified, welcoming working environments. This initiative allows state agencies with jobs in our state's largest city to break down barriers to employment and open doors for overlooked talent,\" said Claire DeMatteis, Secretary of Delaware Department of Human Resources.\nRBIJ welcomes Wilmington business leaders to join the initiative and explore exactly how inclusive hiring elevates their workforce and the well-being of their communities. Through collective action, tailored resources, and leading by example, overlooked talent can access a fair chance to join the workforce and help boost the city's economy.\nAbout the Responsible Business Initiative for Justice.
