The workforce system offers work readiness training through nearly 2,400 American Job Centers nationwide. However, people in recovery can face unique barriers to employment not covered in traditional work readiness curricula. This strategy spotlight focuses on an innovative effort, funded through a National Health Emergency Dislocated Worker Demonstration Grant to Address the Opioid Crisis to the state of New Hampshire, to adapt work readiness training for people in recovery.
