In this episode of The Diversity Career Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how one company, a mid-sized logistics firm called TransCorp Solutions, created a structured career pathway for formerly incarcerated individuals. Starting from a pilot program in 2023, TransCorp partnered with a nonprofit, the Second Chance Institute, to hire and train people leaving the justice system. The program includes mentorship, skill-building, and a clear ladder from entry-level warehouse roles to supervisor and management positions. Lucas breaks down the specific steps TransCorp took, including adjusted hiring criteria, on-site coaching, and a 'buddy system' for new hires. Luna shares a story of one employee, Marcus, who started as a picker and became a shift lead within 18 months. The hosts also discuss the business case: turnover dropped 40% in the pilot cohort, and productivity matched or exceeded other hires. The episode closes with a reflection on what other companies can learn from TransCorp's model. #SecondChanceHiring #CareerLadder #FormerlyIncarcerated #TransCorpSolutions #SecondChanceInstitute #InclusiveHiring #DiversityAndInclusion #Careers #Logistics #WarehouseJobs #Mentorship #EmployeeRetention #TurnoverReduction #SkillsTraining #WorkforceDevelopment #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DiversityCareerPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
