Do Something Boss-y
Employers can immediately impact the lives of PEP graduates (in Texas). Fact: 89% of those who return to prison nationally are unemployed at the time of their re-arrest Opportunity: We have an enormous need for jobs for our dedicated, reformed felons as soon as they hit society! With an employment rate north of 80% and a return-to-prison rate of less than 10%, PEP is proof that employment is one of the keys to keeping people out of prison. We train these men to be top performers at companies: several have made more than $100,000 in their first year out of prison. Give us a chance! Be part of the solution. Fidelity Bonding – It’s always a safe bet to protect your company from employee theft or dishonesty. If you hire a former felon you can qualify for free federal bonding insurance for six months. How does fidelity bonding work? Good question. Click here for a more in-depth explanation. Work Opportunity Tax Credit – Your company can receive a tax credit if you hire one of our graduates.
