The Joyce Foundation’s - Transitional Jobs Reentry Demonstration Project
The Transitional Jobs Reentry Demonstration (TJRD) project was conducted to help fill the gap of reentry knowledge by testing innovative employment programs for former prisoners in Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, and St. Paul using a rigorous, random-assignment research design. In each city, one employment program is built around transitional jobs (TJ)—temporary, subsidized jobs that provide participants with a source of legitimate income, support services, and work experience as they return to the community.

Transitional Jobs
Meaningful work sets the stage for financial independence and career growth. Many individuals with barriers to work remain unemployed despite attempts to work because they have been unable to find and keep a job on their own.
The National Transitional Jobs Network programs assist these individuals in gaining permanent jobs. By working in a subsidized, transitional job for three to twelve months, they earn a paycheck, learn technical skills for higher wage jobs, become eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit, and receive intensive mentoring and support. This transitional job is the first step toward permanent employment and economic opportunity.
