Next Steps Re-entry
Re-entering The Workforce
Next Steps helps job seekers who have been involved with the criminal justice system with life skills, job training, and workplace-readiness. We work with the police, the courts, probation, parole services, and community organizations to provide a program that increases the odds of success.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Next Steps kicks off each month with a 5-Day Schedule.
Staff meet with the cohort each day from 12 pm – 2 pm (in person or via Zoom).
Completion of each day is required for full enrollment.
After the 5-Day schedule, you will work with staff 1-on-1 to complete all eligibility requirements and begin job development.
In-person meetings are available by appointment only.
Staff are also available by phone, email, or Zoom.
