Hiring people who were once incarcerated is a positive practice for many organizations, resulting in employees who are well-trained, loyal, and eager to work. Yet some employers do not consider hiring people with a criminal record due to fear or bias. The cost is high to individuals and our communities for not hiring from this population, since with unemployment comes increased recidivism and failure to thrive. In collaboration with TalentFirst and the Michigan Department of Corrections, Calvin University offers a Second Chance Hiring professional development program to equip HR professionals, hiring managers, and organizational leaders with the tools to confidently recruit and retain returning citizens - tapping into a reliable, underutilized talent pipeline.
