Unlock Jobs, Free Lives, Stop Crime

 

Jobs and a helping hand can take a huge bite out of crime.

Employment and jobs cut crime by 50% according to a WA DOC study.

Our goal is to see people move from committing crimes to contributing to the community, raising their families and stopping the cycle of crime. It just makes sense that being employed, paying taxes and not causing trouble makes a positive impact!

We want to help bridge the gap between employers and ex-offender job seekers.

People convicted of crimes face greater barriers when looking for work.

We help equip people with criminal convictions in their past for job search, job interview, job retention and career advancement.

Employers find our experience screening and handling potential employees with background issues aids their human resource departments to hire qualified employees.

If you need workers, you can make a difference today by hiring a qualified employee who may have a criminal background.

If you have a criminal background you can find help today landing a job.
