POLISHED PATHWAYS

---

Second Chances. Certified Futures. Lasting Impact.

Polished Pathways is a professional workforce and re‑entry certification program designed to prepare incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women for licensure, employment, entrepreneurship, and long‑term economic stability.

Our mission is to move women from incarceration to certification, workforce placement, ownership pathways, and independence through a structured, faith‑driven, workforce ecosystem.

Polished Pathways is not a charity initiative — it is a workforce infrastructure model designed to restore dignity, expand access, and produce generational impact.
