The Exceptionals is a campaign for social change. We inspire and inform employers about the opportunity available to them in terms of working with people who have convictions. We work across England and Wales.
Our purpose is to educate employers about the unique skills and attitude this workforce has to offer and provide insight into the hiring process. We aim to dispel the doubts and fears around working with former offenders and show the business benefits.
Most employers will hire prison leavers if supported to do so. Our campaign connects business, across industries and of all sizes, with leading organisations who provide training, recruitment and ongoing support.
“A brilliant organisation really driving companies to employ ex-offenders.”
-Rick Mower, Managing Director, Raw Workshop
