Finding a job after incarceration isn’t just a small challenge—it can oftentimes be a major roadblock to rebuilding a stable life. Many individuals struggle to gain the right skills or even envision a fulfilling career path. That’s why we’re taking an innovative step forward, integrating Transfr Goggles into our reentry program to bridge the gap and open doors to new opportunities.
What Are Transfr Goggles?
These state-of-the-art VR headsets are revolutionizing career preparation, using immersive technology to assess aptitude and boost earning potential with employers. This groundbreaking approach keeps pace with industry demands, where programming updates occur as frequently as once a month—ensuring users always have access to the most advanced and relevant training available.
How Does It Work?
Here's a quick breakdown of the process:
Career Exploration – Users can choose from up to seven different industries, including automotive, manufacturing, and electrical, to help them discover the career path that best fits their skills and interests.
.
Live Training Simulation – They then step into a realistic workplace environment where a virtual instructor guides them through hands-on tasks specific to their chosen field, providing an immersive, real-world training experience.
Performance Dashboard – As users navigate the simulation, their progress is tracked and scored, highlighting strengths and areas for growth. This data can then be shared with potential employers, showcasing each participant’s skills and readiness for the workforce.
What's the Impact?
With constant software updates and new features, the potential for Transfr within the program is just beginning to unfold. While headset availability is currently limited, the impact has already been undeniable—JUMPSTART is seeing real success, and this is only the start of a breakthrough in both our technology and new possibilities for our participants. Don Williams, JUMPSTART’s Director of Community Relations, has already seen this transformation firsthand:
“One participant scored highest in a particular skill area, and now, he’s actually working in that field! The data proves this works—and we know the impact will only grow from here.”

Incarceration can create insurmountable hurdles for many, leading to seemingly endless cycles of hopelessness and recidivism. At JUMPSTART, we believe that through Christ, there's always a way to turn the page. This is more than just innovative technology—it’s a gateway to renewed hope and lasting change. As we trust in the Lord and faithfully steward these tools, we can’t wait to continue witnessing the countless lives He will restore and the futures He will redefine.
