26-27 ESD Re-entry In-facility Employment Readiness Nav
This is an Ameri Corps/Washington Service Corps national service position. It is contingent on funding and open until filled. Washington’s Employment Security Department (ESD) supports economic stability and equitable access to employment services across the state. Through the ESD Comprehensive Re-entry Program, Ameri Corps members will serve adults preparing for release from Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) facilities. Many justice-impacted individuals face barriers to employment.
These include limited work history, lack of job-readiness skills, and difficulty connecting to community resources after release. The members will serve inside multiple DOC facilities to support job readiness and coordinate warm hand-offs to local Work Source contacts upon release. This role is ideal for someone interested in workforce development, reentry services, adult education, or public service. Members will gain experience in facilitation, trauma-informed service delivery, and navigating Washington’s workforce system.
The members will serve in Work Source Offices and Department of Corrections facilities in Thurston, Mason, and Grays Harbor Counties. Applicants will have an opportunity to express their preference for primary service site during the interview process. Because the members will be serving in Department of Corrections facilities, applicants will need to be able to pass a DOC background check.
We expect to begin rolling review of applications and interviews in early August. Monthly stipend amount: $1,942.
- The In-facility Employment Readiness Navigator will improve access to employment for justice-impacted individuals. They will deliver employment-readiness workshops inside DOC facilities; build relationships with local jails; provide individualized support; connect participants to local Work Source re-entry contacts; engage local employers in providing second-chance hiring opportunities; support justice-impacted individuals in preparing for job search and successful transition to community-based services.
