Employment Support for Individuals with Criminal Records and At-Risk Youth

This act establishes programs to help adults and youth with past involvement in the justice system find employment. The goal is to support their reintegration into society and reduce the likelihood of re-offending. These programs offer vocational training, apprenticeships, and job placement assistance.
Key points
New employment support programs for adults (25+) released from incarceration or serving alternative sentences.
Specific programs for young adults (18-24) and youth (16-17) with juvenile or adult justice system involvement, or who are high school dropouts.
Non-profit organizations and government agencies can receive grants to provide job training, apprenticeships, and other employment-related services.
The act mandates evaluation of program effectiveness to assess improvements in employment, education, housing, and reductions in re-offending.
