Fair Chance Employers Hiring Releasing AICs

Fair Chance Employment – Hiring Releasing AICs

Address Labor Shortages Together: Partner with OCE and let's work together to handle the challenges of staffing shortages.

Do you need call center operators with incredible communication skills, graphic designers with multiple certifications, furniture makers, printing machinery operators, people who can sew, sand, mill, spray, ship, inventory, or even be a leader in your organization? Are you having issues finding people who have a strong desire to work? It might be time to consider a different source for your workforce.

Help remove the barriers to success and be a part of the solution for safer communities. Have a direct impact to the hope of those who just need to be given a chance to make it. OCE training programs are filled with people who have made the choice to make a change. They desire a new life, a life they are proud to live and one they can support on their own.

OCE programs are at the forefront of reducing recidivism in Oregon, according to an Oregon Criminal Justice Commission report published in 2017. The three year re-incarceration recidivism rate in 2022 was 8.6% for AICs with six months of OCE programming, and that number is dropping.

The benefits of fair-chance hiring include not only hiring well-trained people but also Workforce Opportunity Tax Credits and Federal Bonding opportunities.
