HOPES Program
HOPES (Hospitality Opportunities for People (re)Entering Society) program partners with Departments of Corrections, community-based organizations, state restaurant associations and workforce entities as part of a community collaborative model. These partner organizations provide case management services and industry-recognized credentials utilizing an NRAEF training framework focused on the competencies needed to enter the restaurant and hospitality industry.
HOPES partners with interested individuals at participating correctional facilities, as well as after release and during parole. Once a HOPES participant completes training, the individual will be placed in a local restaurant and/or foodservice position and receive follow-up support for a year. Hospitality apprenticeships will also be available to participants.
Funding for HOPES is made possible through a grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration.
