FOR EMPLOYERS
People with criminal records (PWCR) come from all walks of life. Many people assume PWCR have a character flaw, but in most cases they are ordinary people who made a mistake and are working to put it behind them. PWCR are carefully monitored by probation/parole professionals as well as Pathway to Dignity. We continue to work with them and their employer to ensure continuing success.
