“We’re very impressed with the scope of the [EMPLOY] program. We’ve hired a number of offenders during my career and worked with
a few offenders in the foundry…we’ve found them to be responsible
and better people than we can get off the street.”
Tim Hartigan, President
St. Paul Brass & Aluminum Foundry
 “It’s tough to find qualified people willing to work in a manufacturing
environment that have some training…we get a qualified individual, get them on board and up to speed faster than a lot of people we
have to train from staff. We will continue to work with MINNCOR to
identify people to work on our team, and I would encourage other
employers to consider doing the same thing.”
Kurt Norman, Owner
NWN Incorporated
"The EMPLOY program did much to prepare my current employee for the work force, but more than that, it did much to help him gain the confidence to push through difficult situations."
Jim Waldemar, James Waldemar Construction
I just wanted to touch base with you to let you know how very happy and satisfied we are with "John" our new employee that was referred to us by the EMPLOY Program.
He has such an upbeat attitude about work, he gets along great with his co-workers and it’s a joy to have him as part of
our team.
I have every confidence that the EMPLOY program’s time and resources invested in "John" was well spent and
that "John" will “pay it forward”.
"Ex-convicts can make
exceptionally dedicated and
motivated employees who are
grateful that their employer has
taken a chance on them.”

“Financial benefits may push employers to hire ex-offenders, but it is the employees’ positive attitudes and strong work ethic that make them great workers. I’ve never had any problems where
their attitude was bad. I’ve been happy with the results we’ve been
getting.”
Rodney Nekoba, Operations Manager,
