We are thrilled to see a graduate of the first cohort of GLI’s Power to Prosper Accelerator, Joseph Scott, promoting such an important initiative! The Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission has launched a new certification to promote second-chance hiring in our community. If your company’s workforce is made up of 10% of individuals with felony or class A misdemeanor convictions, you may be eligible. As an additional incentive, Metro Louisville also announced a new goal to award five percent of its city contracts to companies with the certification to encourage reentry opportunities. https://bit.ly/4dgcm0X
