Alabama Second-Chance Business Coalition

Help build Alabama’s next workforce pipeline.

ALPRP is developing a practical employer partnership model for qualified returning citizens. Coalition members can help define job requirements, training priorities, documentation standards, and responsible onboarding before a pilot begins.

Employer value

Better information before the first day of work.

Documented preparation

Proposed Saharah Compass records can organize completed education, training, work, and reentry-planning documentation for authorized review.

Incentive navigation

Eligible employers may qualify for the federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit. Certification and filing rules apply.

Structured onboarding

Coalition planning can align hiring requirements with training, supervision, transportation, and continuity-of-care needs before placement.

Proposed pathway

Five stages connect preparation to community stability.

01ReviveSafety and stabilization

02RehabilitateTreatment and learning

03RebuildInternal work and responsibility

04RestoreStructured community transition

05ReleaseReentry and continuity
