Second Chance Hiring
Manufacturers are well-positioned to lead in welcoming people into their workforce who are ready and willing to develop their skills and seize a second chance for a promising career.
One-in-four Americans currently possess a criminal record. Without second chance opportunities, many in this sizable talent pool are excluded from the workforce, needlessly leaving them on the sidelines as employers search for candidates who can fill skills gaps.
Partnering with Stand Together, and with a grant from the Stand Together Trust, the Manufacturing Institute is enabling industry to grow the modern manufacturing workforce while closing the opportunity gap. Through webinars, case studies, research and more, the Manufacturing Institute is helping manufacturers navigate second chance hiring.
