Struggling to recruit skilled employees?

Have you considered employing a prison leaver?

With 27% of working-age adults in the UK having a criminal conviction, a significant talent pool remains largely untapped. Many individuals have strong work histories, while others have gained new skills and qualifications during their time in prison.

Additionally, the latest figures show that more than 1,300 people are currently being supervised by probation in Powys, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire, and many of them are also looking for employment.

Additionally, to provide you with a valuable resource, the Welsh Government will be launching their new Toolkit to support employers on their journey to recruiting prison leavers.
