For partners & funders
Most people leaving prison are still unemployed a year later, and that drives recidivism. Groundwork is a mobile-first platform for the post-release window: an AI coach, stackable skills, and a fair-chance job pipeline — with outcomes tracked from day one.
We own the first 12 months after release — the highest-risk, least-supported stretch — not the inside-the-facility space.
WIOA / DOL REO / Second Chance Act outcome fields are baked into the data model: credentials, employment, retention, wage gain.
Completion rate is our north-star metric. We instrument everything so your next report — and next grant — writes itself.
