Supported Employment monthly topical webinar: Justice-Involved Jobseekers

This webinar will focus on ways to support reentry employment. Adults often enter the justice system with barriers to employment and struggle to reconnect to the labor market after their release from incarceration. This can be due to such factors as limited basic skills and soft skills, employers’ reluctance to hire people with criminal records, and difficulty retaining stable employment because of unstable housing, lack of adequate transportation, or mental health problems.

Objectives/Takeaways

Learn ways to implement Individual Placement and Support (IPS) with justice-involved jobseekers
Learn strategies on how to work with employers regarding justice-involved jobseekers
Learn some techniques to get better employment outcomes with justice-involved jobseekers
