Re-Entry Gumbo: Employer Engagement: A Key Ingredient For Successful Supervision
SESSION INFO
Wednesday, February 2, 2022
9:45 AM - 10:45 AM
Session Type: Workshop
Louisiana is known for its unique cuisine and we like to compare daily tasks with cooking. This workshop provides a “recipe” for Re-Entry Gumbo with a focus on a key ingredient – Employer Engagement. Gumbo is cooked in a large pot and is a mixture of many ingredients. Most ingredients are taken from what is on-hand in the kitchen, and after simmering for hours, reaches its perfection. Gumbo, like successful re-entry, is a complex mixture of ingredients. A former probation and parole officer and the family gumbo cooker – will walk participants through the process of taking what is on hand (ingredients) and putting them together (the pot) to create the perfect gumbo (the recipe for second chance hiring). This presentation follows Right on Crime’s employer forums that were implemented with community partners, employers, probation and parole, and law enforcement to inform employers of the business case for second chance hiring.
