Through our experience, we’ve found that construction offers an ideal environment for new beginnings. The sector provides numerous paths for career advancement, allowing individuals to develop valuable skills that can lead to long-term success.

The Challenge
The Employment Gap
Recent statistics paint a stark picture of the challenges facing individuals post-release. Only twelve percent of former prisoners find employment within six weeks of release, highlighting the immediate barriers to reintegration. By 2022, the situation showed minimal improvement, with just sixteen percent of released individuals securing employment. Perhaps most concerning, during the critical period between March and June 2020, eighty-eight percent of released individuals remained unemployed, demonstrating the persistent nature of this challenge.
Why Employment Matters
Employment represents far more than just a paycheck – it serves as a fundamental cornerstone of successful rehabilitation. A stable job provides the structure and purpose essential for personal growth and development. Employment plays a crucial role in reducing reoffending rates, creating a positive cycle that benefits both individuals and society. Through meaningful work, people rebuild their sense of self-worth and establish vital connections within their communities, leading to lasting positive change.
