JOBS
We can help anyone looking for employment. Through the PA Careerlink we help people find good, high-wage jobs in occupations and industries that are in demand locally. Impact also has special programs focused on those who are re-entering the workforce after incarceration through partnerships with the Department of Corrections. Additionally, we know that a career pathway will assist to keep people from entanglement with the carceral system, and therefore we seek to create opportunities for people who want to move away from alternative economies.
