Re-Entry Transitional Employment

The Chickasaw Nation Re-entry Transitional Employment Program provides services to Chickasaw citizens who have legal barriers to employment. Incarcerated citizens are encouraged to apply at least six months before their projected release date.

The re-entry program provides opportunities for participants to become self-sufficient through life skills trainings and on-the-job work experience. Services are aimed at enhancing work ethics and overcoming employment barriers.

Positive relationships and character building changes are encouraged in order to move participants toward sustainable employment and improved job retention, reducing the potential for future incarceration.
