Don't miss this awesome conversation with Andre Peart, cofounder and CEO of ConConnect. Andre was moved to start ConConnect after his own release from prison. The constraints and struggles surrounding re-entry led him back to prison to finish his term, even though he had been released for making progress to better himself.
What I love about ConConnect is that Andre is asking organizations to do better and to see formerly incarcerated people as more than menial workers. Some of the smartest, most talented, creative and innovative people I have known have served prison sentences. ConConnect helps organizations find people who are talent matches for tech and white-collar jobs; connects formerly incarcerated people with relevant education; and guides companies in the process of becoming fair-chance hirers. If your company takes second chances seriously, ConConnect is a great place for you to start.
