Episode Description

Today, the Department of Corrections held a career fair for people who are seeking a second chance. Organizers say they're bringing together motivated job seekers who are leaving the justice system with employers who are seeking reliable workers. With thousands of people under UDC supervision right now, there's a major need for jobs. But the process of getting those jobs isn't easy. For more on the program and why employers are reaching out to people with criminal backgrounds, Greg and Holly speak with Armanda Mercado, Director of Strategic Initiatives for the Utah Department of Corrections and Angela Johnson of Interstate Roofing; her business was one of the employers who attended the fair.
