With that being said, it does not mean that there is no hope for ex-offenders.<br /><br />In addition to the excellent recommendations provided above, if the ex-offender is under community supervision, probation or parole, then insist that you are referred to the community based providers that are under contract with the supervising agency to provide jobs/vocational training to ex-offenders.<br /><br />Another source is the Department of Labor who provides millions of dollars to community based organizations throughout the nation to provide this sort of assistance to ex-offenders.<br /><br />In conclusion, I suggest that you contact your local Prison Ministries and other faith based organizations. My last offering is this, do you have a particular skill that you can market? You might consider becoming a entrepreneur and creating your own opportunities.ReentryConsultantOnlinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02351472972119918594noreply@blogger.com
