On September 20, 2025, the T.D. Jakes Foundation (TDJF) will host its highly anticipated “You’re Hired!” Hiring Mixer, offering free, in-person access to career opportunities and workforce resources at The Shops at Redbird in Dallas.
The Hiring Mixer connects job seekers with employers for networking, on-the-spot interviews, and career insights, offering a direct path to opportunities across industries.
Aligned with TDJF’s three core pillars, Financial Inclusion, Educational Access & Workforce Readiness, and Community Transformation & Well-being, the event links under-championed talent with organizations building inclusive and innovative teams.
This well-timed event offers job seekers direct access to employers at a time when it’s needed most. In 2024, TDJF connected 2,170 local job seekers with employers and saw a 33% increase in employer attendance from the prior year, highlighting the ongoing need for equitable workforce access.
The Hiring Mixer will feature employers across industries, including government, financial services, transportation, healthcare, and more. Pre-mixer workshops on networking, crafting a value proposition, and other essential skills will equip participants with the tools needed for career success.
The event is presented in partnership with the State Fair of Texas, Workforce Solutions Greater Dallas, and Workforce Dallas.
“We believe events like the Hiring Mixer help open doors to life-changing opportunities,” said Kelley Cornish, President and CEO of the T.D. Jakes Foundation. “By bringing employers and jobseekers together, we’re not just filling positions, we’re building stronger families, stronger communities, and a stronger Dallas.”
