Times are hard for those in search of a good paying job, especially those without promising credentials. Memphis offers hope by announcing their partnership with Kroger to help those with a criminal record get a deserving second chance. Participants who complete Manhood University or Women Offering Women Support program will be able to receive job opportunities with Kroger. This is a great step for the city of Memphis, because an individual’s past mistake does not take away from the fact that they are still deserving of a good job and capable of performing well in the workforce.
Manhood University and WOWS are programs for those just released from the prison system, aiming to teach them about character, communication, and leadership. Kroger has agreed to support these individuals once they have completed the program by providing them with a $4,000 tuition reimbursement and a job that pays as high as $19 an hour with full benefits and a 401K. This opportunity will allow these individuals a second chance to support themselves and their families.
Individuals with criminal records have repeatedly been singled out as not having the qualifications for a majority of jobs. This has allowed the poverty and inequality cycles to continue, especially in minority communities. Memphis and Kroger are attacking this issue head on, and are encouraging other corporations and communities to join them.
