Poverty is one of the main reasons why women end up in the criminal justice system. Without adequate support, it is not surprising that 96% of women are unemployed six weeks after leaving prison and 58% go on to reoffend within a year. Building a career is difficult enough for anyone, but for women saddled with a criminal record, the barriers to a fulfilling career and financial independence are even greater and often follow them around long after their sentence has ended.

Our dedicated, trauma-informed employability support helps women to identify their strengths, talents and career aspirations. Together, we work with women to develop a support plan to help them figure out their career goals and how to make them a reality whether through education, skills development, or job search support. We're with women every step of the way, from choosing a path to building their skills to finding a role that works for them all the way to thriving in careers.
