    Who is Persevere?

    Persevere is a national 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to decreasing recidivism and increasing successful reentry and transition for men and women involved in the criminal justice system. To accomplish this, Persevere offers a customizable, comprehensive program for criminal-justice involved individuals to develop meaningful job skills and gain successful access to the labor market. These services include software coding classes; job readiness and employability instruction, including life skills and financial education; work experience; job search and job placement; entrepreneurship training; and for some, a residential transition program.

    National data shows recidivism rates are highest among those who are unemployed. Criminal justice involved men and women have long struggled to find employment upon release. They have an immediate disadvantage because of their criminal justice involvement, and must compete with non-offenders for unskilled, low-paying jobs. Even when they are successful at finding a job, keeping it is another challenge. As a result, many are unable to comply with the conditions of parole and end up back in prison.

    Real Hope, Valuable Skills, & Meaningful Opportunity

    Job Overview

    The Technology Employment Specialist will prepare program participants to enter the workforce as confident professionals and serve as a liaison between businesses, educators, and others to locate employment opportunities for them and help them succeed in their new careers. This role will require some travel, including transportation of clients at times, and may require occasional work inside multiple prisons and therefore the ability to pass a reference check, background check and our client's drug screen.
