An Expungement Clinic will take place on November 8, 2018, from 12 – 4 P.M. at Goodwill Industries of Kentucky 5828 S. Hwy. 27 Somerset, Kentucky.
Expungement is the legal process where an arrest, charge or conviction is completely removed from your record. In Kentucky, if you do not ask for expungement, the arrest, charge or conviction will stay on your criminal history. This means that any time an employer does a background check, the conviction will show up. This can hurt job opportunities, school or educational opportunities and even some government assistance programs. Expungement gives you a clean slate.
The following resources will be available FREE OF CHARGE:
- Department of Corrections, offering record checks
- Department of Public Advocacy attorneys, available for consultation
- Employers, discussing job opportunities
- Goodwill career coaches, offering employment and supportive services
- Door prizes & refreshments
- Community partners, offering health resources, banking, phones, communication, and more
This clinic is presented by Goodwill Industries of Kentucky, the Kentucky Corrections Department, and The Kentucky Career Center – Cumberlands.
