Description:

Piedmont Triad Regional Workforce Development Board’s Reentry Empowerment and Workforce Integration (REWI) Initiative seeks to strengthen the region’s network of career navigation services for the justice-involved population, while also raising awareness among employers about the positive impact of inclusive hiring practices. Through REWI, Piedmont Triad Regional WDB plans to provide training for staff at NCWorks Career Centers and other community agencies to enhance professionals’ understanding of how various programs and services can work together to meet the needs of people whose past criminal records create barriers to education and employment. The initiative will also promote coordination and connectivity among partners, share best practices, and engage with local employers.
