Meaningful Employment is Key to Future Success
It has long been known there are barriers for a person returning to society from prison. Primary among these barriers is not having desired job skills and also lacking the necessary people skills sought in today's workforce. This is where the Indiana Department of Correction staff who work as members of the HIRE team come into play. HIRE stands for the Hoosier Initiative for Re-Entry and consists of Department of Correction employees who facilitate soon-to-be-former offenders in their search for meaningful employment.
