Jobs Corps helps formerly incarcerated people land on their feet

For young people who have been incarcerated, it can be hard to find a job or get the training they might need to start a career or go to college.

California is trying to change that, with a program called #CaliforniansForAll Youth Jobs Corps, which places people ages 16 to 30 in jobs for a few months or up to a year and helps them prepare for careers that they might not otherwise be able to access.

Guests:

• Kaelyn Carter, Member, #CaliforniansForAll Youth Jobs Corps
• Ebony Richardson, Re-entry Coach, Rubicon Landscape Group
• Betty Márquez Rosales, Reporter, EdSource
