One of the hardest things for formerly incarcerated men and women to do after release is to find meaningful employment. Google is trying to change that with its Career Readiness for Reentry program.
According to a Google release, the programs will train more than 10,000 formerly incarcerated individuals in digital skills and fundamentals including how to search and apply for a job online, how to make a résumé, and send professional emails. The program will also teach more advanced skills for those who want to run their own business such as spreadsheets and tax program training.

Google announced on Thursday that it is launching a “Grow with Google Career Readiness for Reentry” program designed to offer job readiness and digital skill training for former prisoners.
The Grow with Google Career Readiness for Reentry program was created in partnership with the nonprofit organizations, including The Ladies of Hope Ministries (LOHM), Center for Employment Opportunities, Defy Ventures, Fortune Society, and The Last Mile, according to a blog post by LOHM founder Topeka Sam.
In her post, Sam says that “more than 600,000 people make the transition from prisons to the community each year” in the United States, and that “many face systemic barriers to entering the workforce.”
