CEO’s program model helps people coming home from prison enter the workforce. The model helps achieve these goals by providing life skill education, short-term paid transitional employment, full-time job placement and post-placement services. Addressing the employment needs of people with criminal convictions through the CEO model makes them less likely to become re-incarcerated and more likely to build a foundation for a stable, productive life for themselves and their families.
