Connection Training Services (CTS)
Workforce Training & Placement Support
The greatest means of support that CTS provided for Mr. L was in providing him a safe place to process his feelings resulting from the sudden changes that had taken place in his life and the ramifications of those changes. Mr. L is a well-educated veteran with no previous criminal history. His shame about his conviction provided more of a barrier to employment than his actual conviction. Once Mr. L regained his confidence to successfully re-enter society and to regain his position as the head of his family, he set out on his job search with a determination to succeed. And succeed he did. Mr. L had an extensive employment history in warehouse management and has become gainfully employed fulltime as a Warehouse Manager for a rate of $26.44 per hour. This position is comparable to the position that he lost as a result of his incarceration, but at an even greater salary than before.
