• There's Help to Start Over

Dear Annie: My nephew was involved in a robbery when he was only 19 and paid for it with 10 years of his life. While he was incarcerated, he got his GED and took various classes to prepare himself for a possible job opportunity upon his release. He was discharged two years ago and has been a model citizen since. He's tried everything to find work, but no one will hire him. He has taken placement tests for apprentice jobs (and scored very well). It's always the same -- every company requires a background check, and once they see his record, he is not even given a chance.

"So I signed up for this to see how it would work out for me. "After a five-year apprenticeship period," Dunbar said, "you'll eventually become a tradesman. That means you'll be making top pay and be certified as a skilled laborer. Top pay could be somewhere in the area of $65-$70,000 annually," he said. Joining Dunbar at this year's graduation are: Arthur Anderson, Carol Curtis, Jeyon Davis, Ontario Evans, David Grimes, William C. Hill, LaTonya Ja...
