If you want to actually empower people, just do it. These companies have billions in cash reserves. If you don’t want to wire me that money, then at lease use it to set up A shadowing program for ex cons to spend a month with one your engineering teams. See how software gets built, and also be a part of it asking questions and hanging out with the team. Create programs that train adults to perform various jobs that are open. For example, many people would be willing to do any job at a tech company - it’s a booming industry. Why not have a pipeline for people to enroll to learn how to be a BDR, customer service, test engineer, etc. that results in them being placed at a job? Or seriously give me the money and I’ll help set it up for you. All these people and companies talking about this stuff is annoying. Y’all are smart and resourceful so just do it and show us.
