Second-chance hiring programs are powerful initiatives that extend a lifeline to individuals who have faced challenges in their past, offering them the opportunity for redemption and a fresh start. These programs provide hope by recognizing the potential for growth and positive change in individuals who may have previously encountered obstacles. By focusing on rehabilitation rather than exclusion, second-chance hiring opens doors to a diverse pool of talent, fostering a sense of hope and empowerment among those seeking to rebuild their lives. Through supportive environments and opportunities for skill development, these programs not only benefit individuals by offering a path to economic stability but also contribute to a more inclusive and compassionate society. The impact of second-chance hiring extends beyond employment; it symbolizes a commitment to giving people a chance to rewrite their narratives and build a brighter future, embodying the transformative power of hope.

Two fulfilling Urban Innovation job opportunities where you get to build on an initiative that has already had a significant impact.

Here's a helpful toolkit for companies considering launching a second chance hiring initiative.

As many of you will know, GoodPeople decided to focus our attention on Net Zero/Green skills last year, and what a year its been as we learn our craft. Why Green? 1. Because the spectre of a changing climate is real and already upon us. Even the right wing press now (begrudgingly) accept this. Even die-hard petrolheads like Jeremy Clarkson. Fancy... 2 .. and even if we weren't flip-flopping with climate policy (hat tip Rishi Sunak) - we don't have the skills/workforce in place to deliver the necessary (and radical) changes to our heating, transport, housing, food and energy systems. Without the people to do the work, our plans simply aren't possible to execute. 3. Because it's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to support people into #goodwork, and in doing so make a considerable dent on the growing poverty and inequality in our communities. So if you fancy a major challenge, bucket loads of purpose in your day job, working with a brilliant team of people, and the ability to work on a challenge that future generations will thank you for....👇 👉 take a look at the job below, or *please share* across your networks.

Look at the joy on our faces, want to join us? We are hiring. I’m joking about the solemned faces, this team is wonderful! And we are really hiring! If there are three things I can about our team: 1. Nurturing mentors As someone who had no HR background, Sally and Vivian G. have provided me with timely guidance to find my footing in this new industry. 2. Approachable teammates It is a culture to frequently check on each other’s well-being, offer assistance during their peak periods, and most importantly, cover the work streams when someone is away. We made sure that people can enjoy their leave in peace. 3. ________ I can’t tell you everything here. PM me to find out the third reason why I love my team. If you are interested, reach out to me to find out more about Public Service Division, the team and what we do! The positions are found in the comments below. #PSDlife #PeoplePurposePossibilities
