Getting licensed after prison
Join Fair Chance job search group to share your input!
Heard this story in the morning radio about Noel Barrientos who became a realtor after prison. It was definitely an uphill battle trying to start a career while he was on parole. But he never gave up and took the real estate license test twice to get approved by the board.
Employment rates among formerly incarcerated people range from 40 to 64 percent in the year following their release from prison, compared with an average rate above 70 percent among the general population.
Is there any careers that you've heard people have succeeded with a fair chance? What would you like to explore?
