Great day today at the Second Chance Record Restriction event, with Georgia Justice Project, the Clayton County Solicitor General’s Office, the Clerk of State Court for Clayton County, and many others. Misdemeanor convictions can be a barrier to employment, and these agencies worked hard to help people restrict their records and eliminate the stigma that can come with a criminal record. Talking to individuals of all ages about the programs available at Atlanta Technical College was especially rewarding. From Dual Enrollment and GED to certificate training programs and associate’s degree, ATC offers something for everyone.
