Why Become an Employment Partner?
There is an untapped talent pipeline of about 19 million Americans with felony records.
Social Good Meets Good Business - Two out of three people released from prison return within three years without meaningful employment.
Recidivism for Minnesota’s 10,000 inmates costs taxpayers more than $50,000 per inmate each year.
The Second Chance Business Coalition found that 85% of HR and 81% of business leaders say that individuals with criminal records perform the same as or better than employees without criminal records.
Unemployment rates are currently low in the state of Minnesota.
Our model, developed by former inmates, can achieve that goal. It’s a unique and collaborative approach, working with inmates, mentors, employers, nonprofits, and government agencies to build trust during incarceration that continues after release.
