Serving those that need it the most
Working directly with CBOs on the ground, Emerge Career recruited participants to join the program. Of these, 40% were unemployed. Meanwhile, 60% were employed but earning an average of $14.25 per hour. Many were still in halfway houses.
A win-win-win initiative:
- Jobs for re-entrants: average base salary of $75,313 in CT
- Taxpayer savings: research from MNDOC shows that reentry employment services decreased the risk of re-incarceration by 55%
- Employees for companies: research shows that second-chance employees are more motivated and loyal
