Oregon Corrections Enterprises

Oregon Corrections Enterprises is a community based organization dedicated to paving pathways to permanent employment. They offer vocational training and assistance entering the work force, with a goal to support individuals who face barriers to permanent employment and financial independence. One of the many projects operated by Oregon Corrections Enterprises is their Reentry Program, which advocates for the training and hiring of formerly incarcerated individuals. Staff understand that a criminal conviction can be one of the most significant barriers to successfully reintegrating into the community. They work hard to connect individuals with potential employers, including a digital database of local employers who have committed to hiring justice involved individuals whenever possible. Users can locate a database of potential employers through the Oregon Corrections Enterprises website. Additionally, the organization compiles and provides information to employers about how to ensure that they are non-discriminatory and what benefits they may qualify for when they hire justice involved individuals.
