2022 Highlights and 2023 Goals
In 2022 we continued our "Fair Chance Series - What's Next?," focused on increasing fair chance hiring within LA County departments and with LA County employers. We were named as contributors to the Board of Supervisors’ January 2022 motion on Implementing Fair Chance Hiring County Wide, and we sought and provided input to help increase fair chance hiring opportunities.
In addition, our committee hosted several informative presentations, including one by Monica Paraja Dominguez, Sr. Human Resources Manager, LA County Department of Human Resources, on Countywide Pipeline Programs, how to navigate the County website and creating a County profile. We also hosted two different presentations by the National Employment Law Project (NELP), which has been working to develop and track fair chance hiring policies for almost 20 years. These sessions focused on building worker power and improving fair chance hiring policies nationwide and in California.
Furthermore, we worked in conjunction with the Office of Diversion and Reentry and Unite LA to implement a three-part program aimed at improving connection to career pathways in technology for those impacted by the criminal legal system. The project consisted of a 10-session trainee program and a 6-session business accelerator program. We also provided lessons learned and recommendations for those in the reentry workforce to better connect participants with tech opportunities.
In 2023, we are working to increase awareness and compliance of fair chance hiring among employers, increase career training opportunities, and support legal and advocacy campaigns that benefit individuals impacted by the criminal legal system on a macro level. We are committed to creating equitable career opportunities for all and helping individuals achieve their career goals.

Facts and Myths: Health Care Employment Opportunities for People with Criminal Records
Hosted by the National Reentry Resource Center
Health care is one of the fastest-growing employment sectors in the country, with the demand for qualified workers greatly exceeding supply in many areas. But people who have criminal records are often unable to enter or advance within this relatively high-paying sector due to a complex web of legal barriers that make jobs and licenses difficult or impossible to obtain.
This webinar separates the myths from the facts about these barriers in order to develop a better understanding of the true scope and impact of employment-related collateral consequences in the health care sector.
INVEST is a program launched by LA County Workforce Development, Aging and Community Services (WDACS) and Probation Department, in collaboration with the County Office of Diversion and Re-Entry (ODR), to create employment opportunities for Adult Probationers in L.A.

Brookings has come out with a new report on occupational licensing.
Here’s a summary:
Occupational licensing - the legal requirement that a credential is obtained in order to practice a profession—is a common labor market regulation that ostensibly exists to protect public health and safety. However, by limiting access to many occupations, licensing imposes substantial costs: consumers pay higher prices, economic opportunity is reduced for unlicensed workers, and even those who successfully obtain licenses must pay upfront costs and face limited geographic mobility. In addition, licensing often prescribes and constrains the ways in which work is structured, limiting innovation and economic growth.
Researchers have studied these licensing impacts, and much of their analysis is well-summarized in a 2015 report released by the Obama administration. One important finding is that licensed workers tend to earn more than similar workers who are not required to obtain licenses: they receive a wage premium relative to unlicensed workers.

Ricky’s Story
Prior to accessing services in the community, Ricky lived life in the fast lane. He faced huge barriers in his job search; limited work experience, a felony conviction, and a large employment gap. He felt lost, and did not know how to explain these barriers to an employer. Despite his barriers, Ricky was determined to succeed.

Ron’s Story
I left home when I was 17; I had been abused by my stepfather and had been using drugs for about 4 years. I ended up in Hollywood about a year later with no money and no place to live in 1977. I met many people involved with drugs and began using them myself. I spent the years between 1985 and 1999 going in and out of prison, being homeless and addicted to drugs.
