Our partnership with the Craven-Pamlico Re-Entry Council (CPRC) provides a support network for formerly incarcerated individuals of Craven and Pamlico counties. Together, we provide guidance from the point of leaving the prison system to obtaining health care and family stability, re-entering the workforce, and becoming productive citizens. This initiative helps those who have served their time and paid their debts to:
- Compete for a job
- Attain stable housing
- Support their families
- Contribute to the community
- Reduce crime and recidivism rates
The partnership will also help cover student costs related to housing, transportation, childcare, food and hygiene items, administrative fees, vocational/educational training, and school-related supplies and fees.
In addition, the CPRC is an instrumental partner of our Job Readiness Boot Camp, a two-week program that is open to anyone interested in honing job skills, including ex-offenders.

Client Spotlight
During a successful job fair at the Volt Center on June 4, 2025, Devin Williams, one of our clients, proved the importance of partnership and collaboration. Thank you, NCWorks, for being a partner to Craven Pamlico Re-Entry Council and so many other agencies. Together Everyone Achieves More (TEAM)! See Devin's testimonial of his new career in his own words:
"My story starts 3/21/2025, the day I was released from prison. I tried hard to get a job, filled out many applications. Other than a couple of interviews, I had no luck. I was starting to give up hope but I stayed strong and went two routes. I made a resume and turned them in to various HVAC companies. I also went to NCWorks and was majorly assisted by Ms. Bonita Simmons and Mr. Duane Clark. I didn't end up finding a job - I found a career instead."
