EMPLOY Program Post-Releases Services. Once in the community, EMPLOY Program Participants work individually with an EMPLOY Retention Specialist to develop a job search plan & participate with follow up meetings.
All EMPLOY Participants receive a physical and/or electronic portfolio including their resume and specific job leads based on their interests, skills, training and availability. Referrals will be provided to community partners to address any barriers to employment, as well as training needs, services or educational opportunities.
Pose-Release follow up meetings with an EMPLOY Retention Specialist occur within the first week of release, at one month and every three months up until one year post-release. These follow up meetings may be in person, virtually, by phone, through email or text messaging. Post-release services are provided to every EMPLOY Program participant regardless of which part of Minnesota they reside.
