Can a convicted felon get a job in construction?

Answer 1

The code of ethics for social workers requires that a worker have not engaged in unlawful or criminal acts, therefore all social workers are required to undergo a back ground check for felony convictions. So the answer would that I was told by the state of NY is no, unless the governor pardons a person. Sorry we will have to find another field, I chose certification mechanical it was one of the few fields that allow felons to work in. I am not sure as for the state of New York, but I know in the state of Ohio a convicted felon can become a social worker or counselor. I am currently working towards my masters in mental health counseling, and I will begin working with the advocacy office soon, because there will be some bumps to overcome to get there. However, I know at least two people whom did not get granted their pardons, and they were working social workers and a counselor. There are certain supervisions which apply, unfournately not being able to work with juveniles I am pretty sure is one, but it is possible as long as they can show new good character, and explain the cause of their lapse in judgement. But I am sure it takes a great deal of work and stress to get there!

Answer 2

A convicted felon can become an architect. Felons are prohibited from working in many different government jobs and voting.

Answer 3
