The Delaware Hub, a partnership with the DOJ, USAO, and Federal Probation and Parole, looks to offer job and resources fairs up and down the state of Delaware. These job & resource fairs are for everyone, and are felon friendly. We attempt to centralize the fairs in areas in the community that are most in need of the resources and employment opportunities.

Adult Expungement Law
APEX Statewide Flyer 

 • APEX is dedicated to opening opportunities to individuals with criminal histories who wish to obtain gainful employment and overall economic mobility.
• An expungement seals a record and someone can check “no” on employment applications in the section asking if they have a criminal record. The process for an expungement takes 3-6 months.
• The process for a pardon usually takes over a year. It is “forgiveness” of the offense by the Governor but does not erase your record.
