What is Success?

Success is more than just a good job. It’s a job that you love — one that provides real and lasting purpose. It’s being able to support your family and becoming a trustworthy, capable, contributing member of society. And it’s unique for all of us. After being released from prison, individuals often have no job, no housing, and no skills or workforce knowledge to confidently apply to positions. But one thing is certain — when our graduates change their lives by training hard and working hard, they secure jobs that lead to good lives. And for them, their families, the community and all of us, that’s real success, every time.
