iPRADCO Donates High 5 Evaluations to Help Prior Offenders Gain Self-sufficiency

July 9, 2009 - PRLog -- The team at iPRADCO has developed three assessment indexes, competency, leadership and emotional intelligence that identify an individual’s five highest strengths on a behaviorally based index.  The generated report provides a job candidate with a way to stand out and a potential employer with an objective view of an individual’s competency.   iPRADCO is donating these assessments to Breaking The Cycle, Inc. (BTC), a nonprofit dedicated to helping ex-offenders get a second chance.

Breaking the Cycle assists prior offenders in the transition from incarceration to self-sufficiency.   Dr. Terry Owen, CEO of iPradco, said he chose to help BTC by providing free assessments to participants in the program because “everyone deserves a second chance.  The iPradco assessment will highlight strengths and hopefully give those that might have been overlooked without it an opportunity to create a better life.”  

This donation is extremely timely considering Breaking The Cycle is hosting a job fair on August 20, 2009.  The job fair will present ex-offenders with an opportunity to meet prospective employers and showcase their strengths.  Mike Jones, CEO of Breaking the Cycle appreciates the generosity of Pradco.  Mr. Jones, an ex-offender himself, understands the barriers to a successful transition.  He encourages the community to participate in this event because it is a much better use of resources to assist these individuals build a new life than support them in prison.

For further information on the Job Fair please contact Michael Jones of Breaking The Cycle, Inc. at 216-799-8867.
