The ABC Keystone, Eastern Pennsylvania, Western Pennsylvania and Cumberland Valley chapters have signed a statewide letter of agreement with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections to help formerly incarcerated citizens kickstart a career in construction.
The agreement—the first of its kind in the state to cover all Pennsylvania counties—provides reentering citizens with access to the ABC chapters’ registered apprenticeship programs. The agreement also calls on ABC chapters to promote the benefits of hiring individuals who are reentering the workforce and to attend job fairs when feasible.
