The State of the Reentry Workforce report is the National Reentry Workforce Collaborative’s (NRWC) first annual effort to capture the current landscape of reentry workforce development across the United States. This year’s theme, Navigating Uncertainty in the Field, reflects the reality that providers are operating in an environment defined by rapid change, including shifting federal policies, evolving funding priorities, and disruptive new technologies. All of this impacts not just how organizations plan and deliver services, but also the opportunities available to people coming home from incarceration.
