WHAT WE DO
Pathways to Success (PTS) is a workforce development program customized for returning citizens and jobseekers with multiple barriers to employment. Pathways to Success provides customized training and connections to employment opportunities that provide a foundation for life-long improvement.
PTS is built on a work-based learning model where participants are on-boarded in the program through an extensive 6-week process, placed into work-based learning opportunities and mandated to participate in various one-on-one and group setting trainings designed to build their career readiness, financial literacy, decision-making, critical thinking, occupational skills, literacy, math computation, and basic life skills.

ReEntry Hiring Incentive
Prince George’s County has the second-highest number of citizens returning from incarceration in the State of Maryland. Numerous national studies have shown that steady employment of formerly incarcerated individuals helps to reduce rates of recidivism, gives citizens a promising path back into society, and creates overall economic and social benefits for the community.
