The Keys to Success Collaborative hosted its third annual job fair at the West Philadelphia YMCA in 2023. With over 30 organizations and corporations, and 250 attendees, it was a smashing success! Clients and hiring managers alike filled out experience surveys with an overall rating of 9/10. We were able to provide clients with a greater network, interview invitations on the spot, and a plethora of resources.
This year, Keys to Success Collaborative is expanding its organizational capacity and seeking funding to form into a 501c3 nonprofit. The K2S Planning Committee is working with lawyers to develop the charter documents necessary for formation and is expecting to be formed by November.
