How Second Chance Jobs Helps Break the Cycle of Recidivism

Through Employment Services:


Career Training That Builds Confidence and Skills
Our programs focus on equipping individuals with the practical skills and confidence needed to succeed in the workplace. Through The Winning Edge: Work & Life Essential Skills Training, we teach essential job skills, such as communication, teamwork, and professionalism, while also helping participants build self-esteem. By empowering individuals with the tools they need to excel in their careers, we help them create a strong foundation for lasting success.


Employer Partnerships That Create Opportunities
We work closely with employers who understand the value of giving individuals a second chance. These partnerships provide meaningful job opportunities that offer stability and growth potential. By connecting participants with employers willing to invest in their potential, we create pathways for sustainable employment that help individuals rebuild their lives and break free from the cycle of recidivism.


Ongoing Support to Ensure Long-Term Success
At Second Chance Jobs, we don’t just help people find jobs; we help them keep them. Our coaching team offers up to 18 months of support, addressing barriers such as skills gaps, transportation challenges, and workplace adjustments. This ongoing support helps individuals stay on track, grow in their roles, and thrive in their careers—breaking down the barriers that often lead to recidivism.


By focusing on skills development, employer partnerships, and long-term support, Second Chance Jobs provides the resources and guidance necessary for individuals to achieve stability, independence, and a brighter future.

MAKING EMPLOYMENT EASIER

FEDERAL BONDING

Planning is key:  How Federal Bonds can make employment easier:

 Federal bonds help alleviate hesitancy by employers to hire employees considered "at-risk" or hard-to-place due to things such as judicial involvement, 

substance abuse recovery, poor credit, lack of work history or dishonorable discharge.


How to obtain a federal bond:

  1. Enroll in your local Department of Labor  - American Job Center
  2. Bonds are issued for the first 6 months of employment
  3. Bonds are typically issued for $5,000 of fidelity insurance coverage
  4. There is no cost for the bond to the employer or employee
  5. Federal Bonds are processed by the DEW State Federal Bonding Coordinator
  6. They automatically terminate after 6 months
