The CAPRI Second Chance Employment Team meets on the first Tuesday of every month, bringing together the largest and most industrious of all CAPRI’s workgroups. Tasked with one of the toughest and most rewarding missions, this team is dedicated to connecting formerly incarcerated men and women with meaningful employment opportunities.
The team is brilliantly led by Jessica Byrd of the Louisiana Department of Corrections Return for Good division, alongside co-chairs from LA Works. Together, they steer a powerhouse coalition of employers, staffing agencies, labor unions, analysts, advocates, and service providers committed to the powerful benefits of tapping into a talented pool of formerly incarcerated Louisianans.
Train to Sustain? If you’re an employer with ongoing workforce needs, this is the team to join. Learn about recruitment strategies, current employment trends in Baton Rouge, and the tax and financial incentives available to employers. Most importantly, discover whether your business is ready to hire one of our returning citizens — individuals who, we know from the data and experience, have proven to be among the most dedicated, loyal, and grateful employees a company can have.
For more information, contact Jessica Byrd through The CAPRI HUB.
