Second Chance
Employment is a win/win
Second Chance Employment, the practice of offering fair and equal job opportunities to individuals with criminal records, provides hope and the chance at a fresh start for the 80 million Americans who have prior convictions. The benefits of second chance employment are far-reaching, extending beyond the individual to their family, community, and employer.
In a competitive job market where companies struggle to identify strong candidates at all levels of their operations, too many employers are missing out on talent within this huge segment of the U.S. population. By tapping into this pool of talent, companies can access a significant number of qualified applicants who may otherwise be overlooked due to their criminal history alone.
Let your skills shine and your background fade into the, well… background.
Second chance employment opportunities aren’t just about filling job vacancies; they’re about recognizing the potential within every individual to grow and evolve, regardless of their past. For employers, embracing second chance employment means unlocking a source of untapped talent that has much to offer in the workplace. By giving individuals with criminal records an opportunity to rebuild their lives through meaningful employment, companies gain loyal and diligent employees who are eager to make valuable contributions.
Keeping your past where it belongs
- in the past.
Research has shown that a criminal record alone can reduce the chances of getting a second interview by 50%. Companies that have a Second Chance Employment program give employees the opportunity to leave their pasts behind and embrace a new and exciting future filled with possibilities.
