At NCIA, success is about more than just finding a job—it’s about empowering individuals to support their families and contribute to society. Many of our participants, particularly those recently released from incarceration, face significant challenges, from housing insecurity to limited job skills. Despite these barriers, our graduates transform their lives through hard work and commitment, securing jobs that create better futures for themselves and their families. At NCIA’s Vocational Training Center, we measure our success by their success—each transformation is a victory for them, for us, and for the community.
