“Tapping Into An Untapped Labor Market: The Importance of Hiring People Previously Involved in the Justice System." The United States has a near-record number of job openings and companies complain they can't find enough help. One solution for employers? Open your doors to people with criminal backgrounds who have historically found themselves unemployed and unable to earn a living. It would be a win-win situation, according to this episode's guest, Jeffrey Abramowitz, the Executive Director of Justice Partnerships at Philadelphia-based JEVS Human Services. Jeff is the creator of the "Untapped Talent Professional Development Course" which provides human resource specialists, employers, and those working with justice-involved individuals with best practices in hiring and retaining talent.
