Triad Goodwill is proud of the positive impacts of the Careers On The Outside program. Of individuals enrolled in Careers On The Outside in the last 2 years there is a 0% recidivism rate, or engagement in behaviors that led to a new criminal conviction; this is in comparison to national averages of 44%-70% recidivism (varies by circumstance, location, and time since release). Last year, individuals landing jobs through the program averaged a starting wage of $14.23, and 73% of all job placements were into permanent positions.
We believe that work can change lives, and this impact is compounded when a passionate, knowledgeable, and caring team is walking by your side.
