Transition provides job training and placement services to ex-offenders.

Founded in 1974, we have assisted thousands of “returning citizens” to overcome the single biggest obstacle to their successful re-entry back to their community – finding and maintaining a job.

Boot Camp Program

Transition provides in-jail services to young offenders of Miami-Dade County’s Boot Camp Program. Each cadet attends work-readiness classes held each night, three times a week, led by Transition’s staff. Prior to release, Transition’s community-based staff assists cadets with obtaining jobs.

Work Readiness Training

Clients are provided with workshops designed to help them gain confidence and self-esteem to enter the workforce and obtain employment. Topics include: basic computer skills, resume preparation, interviewing techniques, proper dress, employer-employee relationships and conduct.

Job Placement

Experienced job developers work closely with each client to determine realistic employment goals. Utilizing a database of offender-friendly employers, job developers match employer needs with the skills and experience of the job seeker.

Supportive Services

Transition staff works with clients to remove barriers to successful re-entry and employment. Assistance is provided with transportation, work clothing, tools, and obtaining birth certificates and state-issued identification cards.
