West Virginia employment directory note
Independent OACRA resource
Use this directory as a starting point, then confirm each job, schedule, worksite, and eligibility requirement before accepting work
OACRA is an independent educational and organizational justice-tech platform. This page is designed to help justice-involved job seekers, families, case managers, reentry navigators, probationers, parolees, workforce partners, and service providers identify practical employment routes across West Virginia. Listings may include public workforce systems, direct employer application pages, staffing agencies, training providers, nonprofit employment support, and regional job-search routes.
OACRA does not guarantee hiring, does not verify that every employer accepts every background history, and does not provide legal advice. If you are under supervision, always follow your court orders, release conditions, probation or parole instructions, travel rules, curfew rules, treatment schedules, approved residence requirements, job-search conditions, and officer instructions.
