"If we can keep creating these small barriers to reoffending, it'll go a long way toward filling need-based jobs and reducing incarceration." - LABI's Will Green. A key pillar of LABI's LA Driven strategic plan is improving the state's workforce by expanding work-ready skills, providing more training for in-demand occupations, and increasing the number of working Louisianans. One way to do that is to provide support through education and resources to ex-offenders rejoining society. By preparing those incarcerated for employment, we can ensure they successfully return to their communities and the workplace, ultimately slowing the revolving door of recidivism. LABI is proud of the work accomplished at the Capitol with partners like the Louisiana Parole Project! https://lnkd.in/gnWXcSe4
