Part One
SixAM Reentry Infrastructure
A free, connected workforce pathway from first conversation through long-term career mobility.
The first experience should feel like a guided conversation, not another institutional intake form.
Where access is available, preparation can begin before release. A conversational experience helps each person describe goals, experience, skills, barriers, documents, education, and preferred work without forcing them through a cold checklist.
SixAM turns that conversation into structured next steps that can continue across corrections, workforce organizations, schools, training providers, unions, employers, and community partners.
One Living Workforce Profile
One participant-controlled profile grows as readiness, skills, credentials, services, applications, work, wages, and long-term goals change.
The participant should not have to restart the story with every organization.
Living Workforce Record
A durable record of the full journey
Information stays useful as the participant moves from preparation to opportunity and continued growth.
- Career and business goals
- Employment and institutional work
- Informal and transferable skills
- Credentials, training, and documents
- Readiness and gap analysis
- Services, referrals, and preparation
- Placement, retention, wages, and advancement
- Privacy and sharing permissions
Readiness Before Rejection
Rejection should not be the first time someone learns what was missing.
SixAM compares current readiness with actual pathway requirements, identifies gaps early, and recommends the next best action before a preventable rejection occurs.
Requirements surface too late and referrals become disconnected handoffs.
People reach opportunities with clearer requirements, stronger readiness, and coordinated support.
The Next Best Action
Employment is important, but it is not the answer to every unresolved need.
Recommendations change with the participant’s current goals, readiness, barriers, permissions, and progress.
