Employ Prince George's Free Headshot Marathon Transforms the Washington Commanders' Northwestern Stadium to a Beacon of Hope for Federal Workers and Contractors Faced with Uncertainty

In the face of recent uncertainties due to layoffs, hopeful job seekers congregated at Northwest Stadium, a venue, on Monday, symbolized renewal and empowerment. Beyond just capturing images, the event aimed to offer a way forward, assisting individuals in reshaping their professional identities with grace and resilience.

Walter Simmons, President/CEO, Employ Prince George's, expressed his enthusiasm for the event's success, stating, "As we stand in solidarity with our Prince George's County residential federal workers and contractors, it is inspiring to see them take charge of their career transitions. Our commitment to supporting these workers goes beyond job search resources; it extends to empowering them for long-term success in their professional journeys."

In line with this sentiment, Employ Prince George's, Jamie Gunnell, Director, Community Development Department, highlighted the profound impact of the layoffs on the local community, stating, "Our Outreach Team has been on the ground, witnessing firsthand the effects of recent workforce changes. Events like the Career Transition Headshot Marathon are crucial in not only providing practical resources but also instilling a sense of hope and empowerment within our community."
