Employer – Join Our Network
Did you know that studies have shown that having a job can reduce recidivism and that individuals are less likely to commit crimes when they have stable, full-time employment? Empathetic employers, like you, could be the catalyst to increasing public safety in your community by joining our JobPath Network. Some benefits you can enjoy are:
Companies can receive a $5K fidelity bond each year for hiring prior convicted individuals and several other tax breaks and incentives for veterans.
Companies in the JobPath Employer Network are recognized for their commitment to social responsibility and giving individuals a second chance.
Access to a diverse pool of skilled and motivated workers who may have faced barriers to employment in the past.
Lower recruitment costs due to potential tax credits and incentives associated with hiring individuals with criminal backgrounds.
Increased loyalty and commitment from employees who appreciate the opportunity for a fresh start.
Access to training programs and support services to help individuals reintegrate into the workforce successfully.
Demonstrates a commitment to equal opportunity employment and compliance with anti-discrimination laws.
Engagement with the local community and social impact by providing opportunities for those seeking a second chance.
None of this can be accomplished without the support of local Metro-Atlanta employers. We want to connect, collaborate, and grow our partnership network, known as the JobPath Network. All in efforts provide greater awareness to the benefits of hiring people with criminal backgrounds and livelihood problems.

We keep our partnership opportunities simple and available all year round. We understand the complexity of hiring employees with complicated backgrounds and circumstances. GVS offers support services for employees and employers alike.
Georgia Vocational Solutions leadership will sit with you and discuss your company’s needs, history, and employee opportunities.
GVS student population is categorized into two major categories: a) Dream Beyond Incarceration (link to page) and b) Veterans 2 Work (link to page). It is important that each employer discusses their preferences and their obligations as an employer within the GVS JobPath Network. You will be responsible for coordinating hiring workshops, attending job fairs, and actively participating with GVS for various job readiness activities.
Due to the requirement of each student to complete a certification program with GVS prior to undergoing employment, we encourage employers to sponsor students within their interested program.
As students are applying and going through our program all year long, employers may attend weekly intake or submit job opportunities via email to jobs@mygvs.org.
