Turning Reentry Into Opportunity , One Apprenticeship at a Time

Paid apprenticeships provide income, skills, and a pathway to long‑term careers.

Why apprenticeships

Employment is the single strongest predictor of successful reentry. Apprenticeships combine on‑the‑job training, mentorship, and wages so participants can earn while they learn. Employers gain motivated, trained workers; communities gain safer, more stable neighborhoods.

Beyond immediate job placement, apprenticeships create long-term career pathways by building transferable skills, confidence, and professional identity. Participants develop reliability, problem-solving abilities, and a sense of purpose, reducing recidivism and reliance on public systems. When businesses invest in second-chance talent, they strengthen their workforce pipelines while advancing equity and economic resilience.
