Individuals with Disability
Individuals with a disability, many times, are looked at what they can't do rather than what they can do but they have proven to be a reliable and valuable part of expanding anyone's workforce. Like most of us, they just want a chance, an opportunity to show they can do it!
Justice Involved Individuals
More inclusive hiring is a powerful way to break the cycle of economic hardship, poverty and incarceration that characterizes many American communities. By giving second chance candidates an opportunity, individuals and families strengthen their financial health and communities stabilize.
Newcomers to America
Securing employment in America offers numerous benefits to newcomers, fostering their integration and providing a foundation for success. It provides financial stability, empowering individuals to support themselves and their families, access essential resources, and pursue their aspirations. Through employment, newcomers gain a sense of belonging, self-worth, and independence, contributing positively to their overall well-being and integration into American society.
