For 38 years, Greyston has opened its doors to those who face rejection elsewhere. By replacing scrutiny with trust, Greyston’s Open Hiring® is transforming lives and communities, and breaking the cycle of poverty in the process. This Concordia Live shared how this program works, and explored the inspiration behind Greyston’s mission. Furthermore Joe Kenner—Greyston’s President & CEO—and Gary Officer—President & CEO of the Center for Workforce Inclusion and advisor to Concordia—dove into the black community’s journey towards equal opportunity of the American Dream over the years, and more specifically over the last twelve months. Everyone has the innate ability to achieve their goals if given the opportunity. Greyston Bakery is proof of just that.
