Our speakers included Augie Ghilarducci, President and COO of 2nd Opportunity, and Torrey Leach, Workforce Development Manager at the NC Department of Adult Correction. Together, they discussed the barriers faced by formerly incarcerated individuals, explored strategies to create job opportunities for those with a criminal record, and highlighted programs and initiatives aimed at reducing recidivism. Augie and Torrey also shared their personal journeys, emphasizing the transformative impact of second chances on their lives. The webinar provided practical advice on how employers can support reentry efforts and foster inclusive workplaces. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn from experts and gain valuable insights on empowering individuals reentering society.
