Jobs in Iowa for Ex-Offenders - Second Chance Placement

Who We Are

HELPING CONNECT EX-OFFENDERS WITH BUSINESSES IN IOWA

Currently, there is no mechanism to connect ex-offenders looking for gainful employment to employers. Whether it’s the inability to locate ex-offenders or an unconscious bias regarding ex-offenders and their potential, connections between the two are difficult. A significant talent shortage and skills gap exists that hinders companies’ efforts to expand due to lack of finding the right employees.

Employers face a significant talent shortage and skills gap exists that hinders companies’ efforts to expand due to lack of finding the right employees. The Iowa Department of Corrections releases over 6000 inmates each year eager to join the workforce and move on in life.

Second Chance Placement facilitates the connection between ex-offenders and businesses. Our easy to use website allows employers to create job postings and job applicants to apply.

HOW IT WORKS

We share success stories of rehabilitated offenders who have been given employment opportunities by employers and have turned out to be committed, valuable employees.

What We Believe

People learn from poor decisions

When provided an opportunity to improve, people will take advantage of that opportunity

We all have unconscious bias’s that influence our views of people before we understand their situation. This prevents us from listening and understanding the environment they were in vs. the environment they are in now.
