Military Talent
Transitioning service members. Veterans of all eras and branches. Guard and Reservists. Military spouses and family members. 37% of veterans are underemployed/underpaid. Military spouse unemployment rate is 24%. Great talent that is overlooked or filtered out because skills are misunderstood and resumes are biased.
People with Disabilities
1 in 4 adults identify as having a disability. The unemployment rate of people with disabilities is 10%. The workforce participation rate is just 38%, compared to nearly 77% for non-disabled workers. We aim to improve exposure to job candidates with disabilities among employers who are missing out on this talent.
Justice-Involved/Second Chance
There are 70 million in the US with a criminal record, facing barriers to employment. Analysis shows that talent in this community has an unemployment rate of over 27%. With limited employment options, recidivism is high. Breaking the cycle is critical for the individual to have opportunities to be part of the community again.
