Description

Emerge Career is an online platform that offers customized vocational training programs for individuals who have been or are currently incarcerated, as well as those who receive SNAP benefits. Their technology is compatible with correctional facilities and can be used offline. The platform has successfully created job opportunities for reentrants and workers in labor-starved industries, while also reducing crime and recidivism rates. Emerge Career has secured $3.2M in seed funding and new state contracts for their pre-release job training programs. They collaborate with government agencies to provide high-paying jobs, reduce recidivism, and upskill incarcerated individuals out of poverty. Through partnerships with schools, they offer accelerated hands-on training and connect graduates with employers. Emerge Career primarily operates in the United States and was founded in 2022 in New York.
