Workforce re-entry and second-chance employment

Job readiness training built for the hardest conversations.

AI-powered resume building and interview practice for workforce re-entry and second-chance employment. Built to help users show up ready for the hardest conversations.

The director's problem

Your participants need to practice the hardest conversations before they walk into them, the ones about gaps, background, and what changed. But you can't run 1-on-1 mock interviews with every participant in your cohort. You don't have the headcount. So most participants enter their first real interview unprepared for the questions that matter most.

How it works

Three steps from first resume to interview-ready

Step 1

Gap-Aware Resume Builder

Participants who don't have a resume use our conversational AI to build one. They choose how to handle gaps in employment history: address directly, leave off, or hint without naming. The output is honest, competitive, and theirs to take to any application.

Step 2

Realistic Interview Training

Participants practice with AI personas trained on the hardest conversations they'll face. The personas ask the real questions about gaps, background, and what changed. Trainees work through those moments in practice before they face them in a real interview. Scoring is anchored to STAR, SHRM, and OPM frameworks, not AI opinion.

Step 3

Director Dashboard

Program directors see who's actually ready to interview. Scoped to your institution only. No mixing with other programs. Cohort visibility with session-level detail when you need it, summary-only when participants prefer privacy.

Who this serves

Built for:

  • Community corrections and parole reentry programs
  • Residential addiction recovery facilities
  • Faith-based reentry organizations
  • Workforce development programs
  • Re-entry from incarceration, treatment, and other transition pipelines

The same platform serves every population, with respect for what each cohort faces. The resume builder handles a motherhood gap as cleanly as a treatment gap. The interview training prepares a parolee for a hiring manager the same way it prepares a recent veteran. The dashboard works the same whether your cohort is twelve participants or two hundred.

Why this works

Scales your coaching capacity.

Your team can't do 1-on-1 mock interviews with every participant. The platform can. Every participant gets unlimited practice on their schedule.

Failures happen in private.

Participants stumble in practice in front of an AI, not a hiring manager. They learn what to fix before the stakes are real.

Hard evidence, not soft opinion.

Scoring is anchored to professional frameworks (STAR for behavioral interviews, SHRM for HR scenarios). You get evidence-grade signal on participant readiness, not generative AI judgment.
