Felon Wants to Become a Barber

My name is Gracie and my boyfriend is currently incarcerated and was sentenced 3-10 year sentence for battery with a deadly weapon, conspiracy robbery and attempt robbery and is hoping to only do 3 with parole. He's working on getting his GED now and wants to get into barber school when he gets out but while he's doing that, what kind of job do you think he will be able to get here in a gold mining town? Or any other place?

Hi Gracie,

Always a strong suggestion I make to all felons looking for jobs is to make a trip to the local One-stop Career Center. Once know as the "employment office," the local one-stop offers many services like resume preparation, interviewing skills and other resources to help citizens get jobs. There are also computers available for job search use. Every center has lists of available jobs in the immediate area. He will also find counselors that offer personal assistance to those looking for jobs. If barber training is not offered at your boyfriend's facility, there may be funding available for training at a barber school. The counselor will be able to tell you if funding is available. The counselors also may know employers that have hired ex-offenders or felons in the past.
