THIS GUIDANCE PROVIDES THAT THE TAX EFFECTS FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION CAN ONLY BE RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IF THE POSITION IS "MORE-LIKELY-THAN NOT" TO BE SUSTAINDED IF THE POSITION WERE TO BE CHALLENGED BY A TAXING AUTHORITY. THE ASSESSMENT OF THE TAX POSITION IS BASED SOLELY ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE TAX POSITION MAY BE CHALLENGED. CEO IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER IRC SECTION 501(C)(3), THOUGH IT IS SUBJECT TO TAX ON INCOME UNRELATED TO ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE, UNLESS THAT INCOME IS OTHERWISE EXCLUDED BY THE CODE. CEO HAS PROCESSES IN PLACE TO ENSURE THE MAINTENANCE OF ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS; TO IDENTIFY AND REPORT UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME; TO DETERMINE ITS FILING AND TAX OBLIGATIONS IN JURISDICTIONS FOR WHICH IT HAS NEXUS; AND TO IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED TAX POSITIONS. CEO HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE ARE NO MATERIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE RECOGNITION OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

MEASURES TAKEN BY VARIOUS GOVERNMENTS TO CONTAIN THE VIRUS HAVE AFFECTED ECONOMIC ACTIVITY. THE FULL IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK CONTINUES TO EVOLVE AS OF THE DATE OF THIS REPORT. AS SUCH, IT IS UNCERTAIN AS TO THE FULL MAGNITUDE THAT THE PANDEMIC WILL HAVE ON CEO'S FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. MANAGEMENT IS ACTIVELY MONITORING THE SITUATION ON ITS FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND OPERATIONS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 CENTER FOR EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, INC. (CEO) IS A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO PROVIDING IMMEDIATE, EFFECTIVE, AND COMPREHENSIVE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS RETURNING HOME AFTER INCARCERATION. CEO'S THEORY OF CHANGE POSITS THAT IF THE EMPLOYMENT NEEDS OF PEOPLE WITH CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS ARE MET WHEN THEY ARE FIRST RELEASED FROM INCARCERATION, THEY ARE LESS LIKELY TO RECIDIVATE AND ARE BETTER ABLE TO BUILD A FOUNDATION FOR A STABLE, PRODUCTIVE LIFE. CEO DELIVERS EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMMING THAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR IN EACH OF ITS OFFICES ACROSS TWELVE STATES. CEO'S PROGRAM PROVIDES EACH PARTICIPANT IN-CLASS LIFE SKILLS AND JOB READINESS INSTRUCTION, FOLLOWED BY PAID WORK ON WORK CREWS SUPERVISED BY CEO PERMANENT STAFF (TRANSITIONAL WORK). CONCURRENT WITH TRANSITIONAL WORK, CEO PROVIDES JOB COACHING AND JOB PLACEMENT SERVICES TO HELP INDIVIDUALS FIND FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT. PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS THEN RECEIVE JOB RETENTION SUPPORT TO HELP THEM ADVANCE WITHIN THE LABOR MARKET. THROUGHOUT THE PROGRAM THEY ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO OTHER SKILL-BUILDING TRAININGS. CEO'S MODEL HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF THIRD PARTY EVALUATIONS WHICH HAVE FOUND THAT THE PROGRAM MODEL IS EFFECTIVE IN REDUCING RECIDIVISM AND INCREASING EMPLOYMENT, THEREBY PROVIDING BENEFIT TO THOSE PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS, THEIR FAMILIES, AND THEIR COMMUNITIES, AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS TO GOVERNMENT AND THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. CEO BEGAN AS A VERA INSTITUTE OF JUSTICE DEMONSTRATION PROJECT IN THE 1970S. CEO WAS SEPARATELY ESTABLISHED IN 1996 AND HAS GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE THEN. IN FISCAL YEAR 2020, CEO HAD 30 OFFICES IN TWELVE STATES - CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, MICHIGAN, NEW YORK, OHIO, OKLAHOMA, PENNSYLVANIA, LOUISIANA, KENTUCKY, TENNESSEE, GEORGIA, AND NORTH CAROLINA. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 CEO HAS BEEN OPERATING TWO MAIN PROGRAMS, THE TRANSITIONAL JOBS ("TJ") AND THE VOCATIONAL SERVICES ("VS") AND IN FISCAL 2021 COMMENCED AN INCLUSIVE HIRING ("IH") PROGRAM. TJ, WHICH IS CEO'S SIGNATURE WORK EXPERIENCE PROGRAM, PROVIDES IMMEDIATE, PAID, TIME-LIMITED EMPLOYMENT FOR PEOPLE WITH JUSTICE INVOLVEMENT AND PROVIDES THEM WITH THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO REJOIN THE WORKFORCE AND RESTART THEIR LIVES. THE VS PLACES PARTICIPANTS IN FULL-TIME, UNSUBSIDIZED EMPLOYMENT AND FOLLOWS-UP THROUGH THE FIRST YEAR AFTER PLACEMENT, PROVIDING RETENTION AND ADVANCEMENT COUNSELING AND REFERRAL. THE IH ASSISTS MID-SIZED AND LARGE PRIVATE SECTOR EMPLOYERS IN IMPROVING THEIR HIRING PRACTICES WITH A VIEW TO CREATING MORE JOB OPENINGS FOR JOB SEEKERS WITH PAST CONVICTIONS. IN ADDITION, THE INCLUSIVE HIRING PROGRAM PROVIDES SUPPORT TO PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS IN BUILDING LOCAL EMPLOYMENT PIPELINES FOR THOSE WITH JUSTICE INVOLVEMENT ACROSS MULTIPLE MARKETS, INCLUDING IN CITIES WHERE CEO OPERATES. CONSISTENT WITH OUR MISSION AND STRATEGIC PLAN, THIS WORK EXPANDS EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND ADVANCES ECONOMIC MOBILITY AND EQUITY FOR RETURNING CITIZENS. CEO IS DEDICATED TO PROVIDING IMMEDIATE, EFFECTIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE EMPLOYMENT SERVICES TO MEN AND WOMEN WITH RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM. CEO'S HIGHLY STRUCTURED PROGRAMS HELP PARTICIPANTS REGAIN THE SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE NEEDED FOR SUCCESSFUL TRANSITIONS TO STABLE, PRODUCTIVE LIVES. FORM 990, PART III - PROGRAM SERVICE, LINE 4A TRANSITIONAL WORK PROGRAM - IMMEDIATE WORK FOR SAME DAY PAY: AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF CLASSROOM TRAINING, CEO PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WORK ON TRANSITIONAL WORK CREWS. EACH TRANSITIONAL WORK CREW IS COMPRISED OF APPROXIMATELY 5-8 PARTICIPANTS WHO WORK FOR, AND ARE PAID BY, CEO. EACH TRANSITIONAL WORK CREW IS RUN AND SUPERVISED BY A SITE SUPERVISOR, A PERMANENT CEO EMPLOYEE. IN FY2021, CEO PROVIDED TRANSITIONAL EMPLOYMENT TO 4,977 FORMERLY INCARCERATED PERSONS THROUGH ITS 31 OFFICES.

THE TRANSITIONAL WORK SETTING BENEFITS PARTICIPANTS IN SEVERAL WAYS. FIRST, ALL PARTICIPANTS CAN BEGIN WORKING IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMPLETING CLASSROOM TRAINING. CEO PAYS EACH MEMBER OF A WORK CREW ON A DAILY BASIS, PROVIDING AN IMPORTANT SOURCE OF INCOME. THE DAILY PAY SCHEDULE ELIMINATES THE INCOME TIMING GAP INHERENT IN BI-WEEKLY OR MONTHLY PAY CYCLES. SECOND, THE CLOSE SUPERVISION PROVIDED BY THE TRAINED PERMANENT SUPERVISOR TO A SMALL NUMBER OF PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS ENABLES SUPERVISORS TO CLOSELY GUIDE AND COACH EACH WORK CREW MEMBER. THE TRANSITIONAL WORK MODEL ALSO FACILITATES PARTICIPANTS IN SUPPORTING ONE ANOTHER AND GAINING MOTIVATION FROM EACH OTHER'S SUCCESSES. FORM 990, PART III - PROGRAM SERVICE, LINE 4B VOCATIONAL TRAINING: CONCURRENT WITH TRANSITIONAL WORK, CEO PROVIDES VOCATIONAL TRAINING AND SUPPORT SERVICES. DURING THE PERIOD THAT PARTICIPANTS ARE WORKING ON TRANSITIONAL WORK CREWS, THEY TYPICALLY MEET WITH A JOB COACH ONE DAY PER WEEK.

IN FY2021, CEO'S EMPLOYMENT SERVICES RESULTED IN 2,029 FULL-TIME JOB PLACEMENTS IN A VARIETY OF INDUSTRIES AND SECTORS SUCH AS FOOD SERVICE, RETAIL, WHOLESALE, MANUFACTURING, HUMAN SERVICES, CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE, AND WAREHOUSING. AFTER PARTICIPANTS BEGIN WORKING IN PERMANENT JOBS, THEY MEET REGULARLY WITH A CEO RETENTION SPECIALIST. RETENTION SPECIALISTS WORK WITH EACH PARTICIPANT TO HELP THAT INDIVIDUAL REMAIN CONNECTED TO THE WORKFORCE. RETENTION SPECIALISTS OFFER WORKPLACE COUNSELING, CRISIS MANAGEMENT, NEW JOB DEVELOPMENT IN THE EVENT OF A JOB LOSS, AND LONG-TERM CAREER PLANNING FOR ONE YEAR AFTER PLACEMENT. AN INCENTIVE-BASED JOB RETENTION PROGRAM ALSO REWARDS PARTICIPANTS THE LONGER THEY REMAIN EMPLOYED DURING THAT FIRST YEAR. FORM 990, PART III - PROGRAM SERVICE, LINE 4C CEO'S INCLUSIVE HIRING INITIATIVE IS A DEMAND SIDE APPROACH TO INCREASING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR JOB SEEKERS WITH PAST CONVICTIONS. CEO WORKS TO ASSIST MID-SIZED AND LARGE PRIVATE SECTOR EMPLOYERS IN IMPROVING THEIR HIRING AND TALENT PRACTICES WITH A VIEW TO CREATING MORE JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND CAREER MOBILITY FOR JOB SEEKERS WITH PAST CONVICTIONS. IN ADDITION, THE INCLUSIVE HIRING PROGRAM PROVIDES SUPPORT TO PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS IN BUILDING LOCAL EMPLOYMENT PIPELINES FOR JOB SEEKERS ACROSS MULTIPLE MARKETS, INCLUDING CITIES WHERE CEO OPERATES. CONSISTENT WITH CEO'S MISSION, THIS EFFORT SEEKS TO EDUCATE EMPLOYERS AND POLICYMAKERS THROUGH A VARIETY OF IN-PERSON AND ONLINE LEARNING ACTIVITIES.

EACH JANUARY, THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS CIRCULATED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND TO THE ORGANIZATION'S EXECUTIVE TEAM. ALL BOARD MEMBERS AND EXECUTIVE TEAM MUST DISCLOSE ANY INTERESTS THAT COULD GIVE RISE TO CONFLICTS. THE ORGANIZATION'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS SUMMARIZED IN THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15A AND 15B: THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES REVIEWS COMPARABLE SALARIES AT COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS TO DETERMINE IF THE COMPENSATION OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/CEO FALLS WITHIN THE SALARY RANGE OF SIMILAR EXECUTIVES AT SUCH ORGANIZATIONS. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND FULL BOARD EACH REVIEWS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. AFTER DELIBERATION ON THIS MATTER, A SALARY AND BENEFIT PACKAGE IS PROPOSED, AND THEN VOTED ON.
