What types of programs are offered to help me find employment while on parole or probation?

In Kansas, parolees and probationers have access to many types of programs to assist with finding employment. The Kansas Department of Corrections offers a variety of resources, including the Re-Entry Employment Program (REP). This program was created to assist those on parole and probation with finding gainful employment. REP provides services such as pre-employment planning, job search assistance, job placement, and job retention services. In addition, the Kansas Department of Labor offers employment counseling, job search assistance, and vocational assistance programs. Individuals on parole often qualify for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program. This program provides vocational training and education to help find stable employment. The Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services administers this program, and individuals may apply directly from their local SRS office as well as online. For those on probation, the Kansas Statewide Reentry Council (KSRC) offers a wide range of services to help individuals on probation find employment. The KSRC provides job placement assistance, job search assistance, and job retention services. In addition, the KSRC also provides access to education and training programs, and assistance with developing a resume to increase employability. In addition, many local faith-based and non-profit organizations offer assistance in the forms of job placement, employment training, and education for those on parole or probation. These programs provide essential job-seeking skills and support to individuals on parole and probation seeking to reintegrate into the community and gainful employment.
