Journal 14 will shed light on the challenges and opportunities facing individuals released from prison, emphasising the transformative role employability services can play in their reintegration.
“This edition focuses on the support to people released from prison and how integration into the labour market can help them take an active part in society instead of reoffending,” says Miguel Peromingo.
“The examples from UK, Australia, Lithuania, Belgium, France, Spain, USA and the Netherlands tell the personal journeys of returning citizens and how employability services provided holistic support, from vocational training in-prison to working on employer attitudes, to find and stay in a job and ultimately return to freedom.”
Journal 14 Launch Webinar
The latest Journal will be launched at our webinar at 9 am on 30th April where Miguel will highlight successful strategies for the inclusion of returning citizens. Dutch temporary work agency Adecco will present global case studies, while the Lithuanian public employment service will showcase local programs designed to integrate justice-impacted individuals into the workforce.
This edition of the IEP Journal is a must-read for all employability professionals looking to deepen their understanding of how to support returning citizens effectively. Through shared knowledge and collaboration, the employability sector can play a pivotal role in breaking cycles of reoffending and creating pathways to sustainable employment.
