Experience Series | Opening Doors
Workforce Solutions Through Recovery and Reentry
Join us for a panel discussion that will explore an often-overlooked but highly capable talent pool — individuals transitioning from substance use treatment programs and/or incarceration.
During this session, industry leaders, workforce development experts, and community advocates will shed light on the realities, opportunities, and best practices for integrating these motivated individuals into your workforce. We’ll discuss the skills, training, and support systems that make these candidates valuable assets to businesses committed to growth, resilience, and community impact.
Participants will leave with:
- A deeper understanding of the workforce potential coming from recovery and reentry programs
- Practical strategies for inclusive hiring and onboarding
- Real-world success stories from businesses that have benefited from expanding their talent pipelines
This experience is designed for business leaders, HR professionals, hiring managers, and anyone interested in building a stronger, more inclusive workforce.
