Goodwill’s Reentry Preparation Program (STEP | Reentry) helps currently incarcerated and previously justice-involved individuals reenter the workforce with confidence by obtaining in-demand job skills for fair-chance-friendly professions.
Program participants can take advantage of our new virtual reality forklift classes as well as virtual reality interviewing training programs that are designed to help navigate interviews for those who have been justice-involved.
Our Reentry program doesn’t just teach you about work – you’ll also get hands-on experience. There are employment opportunities with Goodwill or our community employment partners.
Throughout the program, you’ll earn micro-credentials and get the training you need to jumpstart a brighter future!
We know that telling your story once you get out of the system can be difficult. That’s why we have several custom-designed classes to help you make smart choices and tell your story effectively.
All program participants who successfully complete our Reentry track will graduate and receive a certificate of completion.
This program is currently offered at six Oklahoma correctional facilities and Goodwill’s Career Pathways Institute in Oklahoma City. We work with the Department of Corrections, Oklahoma Re-Entry Opportunity Center, transitional facilities, The Education and Employment Ministry (TEEM), and others to support those who have been affected by the justice system in Oklahoma
This free program is open to any Oklahoma resident who has been incarcerated for a day or more.
This program is provided at no cost to the individuals involved. These opportunities are made possible through our community partnerships and the support of shoppers and donors at Goodwill stores.
