Supporting Successful Reentry: Resources for Youth and Adults
About
Finding employment with a criminal record can be challenging. For youth and adults, the employment landscape is often shaped by background checks, probation or parole requirements, housing instability, limited education or job skills, and mental health concerns.
This WorkforceGPS Special Collection features a curated set of resources designed to help workforce development professionals support individuals transitioning from the criminal justice system back into the community. The collection offers practical tools and insights to address the unique challenges adults face during reentry.
