Скачать или смотреть Second Chances in Action: Wisconsin Inmates Earn Welding Certificates 🎓🔧

In 2022, eleven Wisconsin inmates, including African American student Hienok Demessie, earned professional welding certificates through Milwaukee Area Technical College’s Second Chance program.

This powerful initiative equips incarcerated individuals with real, in-demand skills that open doors to employment and stability after release. Since the program began, nearly 100 inmates have completed certification, proving that rehabilitation, education, and opportunity can truly change lives.

This is what second chances look like — preparation, dignity, and a path forward beyond prison walls. Education doesn’t just change futures, it saves them. 💪🏽
