There are numerous obstacles preventing justice-involved individuals from accessing gainful employment, including structural inequalities, technology and skill gaps, and the lack of social capital, which is a network of personal and professional relationships that can facilitate career growth and opportunity. The disparate impact on justice-involved people who have not been provided with access to these networks is a significant issue, as it excludes individuals from upward mobility and perpetuates economic exclusion. To support this population, organizations like Climb Hire are working to develop the networking and relationship-building skills needed for a career, and employers must take responsibility to open their candidate pools to justice-involved individuals, offering various avenues into their organizations, such as internships or apprenticeship programs. By doing so, they can harness untapped talent and bolster inclusion, creating a fairer future of work that values diversity and promotes economic mobility for all.
