Ex-offenders are often clients or participants in programs operated by many organizations—community-based organizations, post-secondary institutions, one-stop career centers, other training programs funded by JTPA, and welfare-to-work programs, to name some. Both ex-offenders and the professionals who work with them will benefit from this excellent, newly revised video that addresses the unique challenges that ex-offenders face when they look for work.

And the job search methods are the very best! They’re based on techniques by Mike Farr, whose job search books have sold more than 2 million copies!
