In partnership with the Stanford University Graduate School of Education, the ILR School’s Criminal Justice and Employment Initiative has launched the Restorative Record project, which helps justice-involved job candidates create non-traditional résumés.

‍

Available and free in New York state and California for justice-impacted applicants, companies committed to second-chance hiring and community organizations with workforce development programs, the tool is designed to help job candidates overcome stigma, build digital career capital and reintegrate into society.

‍

Rather than only emphasizing negative elements of a person’s background, the new tool includes evidence-based domains of employment and reentry success such as positive community experiences, micro-credentials related to supplemental education and skills training, pursuit of leisure and hobbies, mentoring, participation in substance abuse programs, health care services, mental health counseling and more.
