Overview

The 2nd Chances@Work Initiative focuses on connecting justice-impacted individuals with living wage employment and building a more inclusive workforce. The initiative partners with workforce development boards to create, sustain, and retain a viable workforce of justice-impacted individuals that can support local and regional businesses, ensuring everyone thrives.

The portfolio company Orijin is a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) and a certified B-Corporation in Corrections Reform in the USA, partnering with companies to join the mission of preparing every justice-impacted individual for a living-wage job. The Orijin philosophy is to never charge incarcerated individuals or their friends and families for its technology or services. Orijin products and services are deployed in hundreds of facilities across 17 states — and growing.

Founded in 2014, Orijin has developed its “Whole Learner Framework,” a proprietary curriculum delivering assessments and plans that motivate and engage to effectively educate and equip these individuals in their pursuit to empower themselves and strengthen society. Orijin leverages innovative technology to create a managed learning environment that fosters growth and certifies career-readiness.
