Used by workforce nonprofits delivering hundreds of practice sessions per cohort with zero added coaching staff. Mapped to WIOA measurable skill gains and credential attainment indicators.

Built for the reentry workflow

The interview-prep layer reentry programs have been doing by hand

Practice the disclosure question in private, as many times as it takes

The disclosure question is the single hardest moment in a reentry interview. Participants practice it with an AI interviewer that does not judge, does not get tired, and is available at 2 a.m. when the participant cannot sleep before tomorrow's interview. Voice-based. Scored. Replayable.

Reentry-specific scenarios, not generic interview prep

Explaining the gap. Rebuilding trust after a setback. Reliability and showing up. The coworker who asks about your past on day three. The scenario library is built for the conversations that actually come up in fair-chance hiring, not the canned "tell me about yourself" deck every other tool ships.

Build interview confidence in a low-stakes loop first

Most reentry participants have not interviewed for a real job in years. The voice-based mock interviews give them a way to rebuild pacing, presence, and conviction before they walk into a fair-chance employer. Confidence shows up in scoring. The arc is visible in the dashboard.

Unlimited practice reps without unlimited staff

Reentry programs run lean. One workforce nonprofit delivered 245 mock interviews across a 9-week cohort with zero added coaching staff. The participants who needed extra reps got them. The staff time stayed where it belongs.

Outcomes you can show parole boards, judicial referrers, and funders

Per-participant readiness scores, baseline-to-current deltas, session counts. Mapped to WIOA measurable skill gains. Exportable in CSV and PDF formats your reporting officer, your court referral coordinator, or your foundation program officer can file directly.

Custom scenarios for the employers and roles you actually place into

Set up scenarios for the specific fair-chance employers your program partners with: construction trades, food service, light industrial, IT helpdesk, customer service. The AI persona, difficulty, and evaluation criteria are all configurable per role and per cohort.

Common questions from reentry program directors

Will this help our participants prep for the disclosure question?

Yes. The disclosure question (some version of "tell me about your background") is built into the reentry scenario library. Participants practice a confident, professional answer that names the fact without apologizing, names what has changed since, and pivots quickly to why they are right for the role. The AI interviewer does not judge. Participants can rehearse it dozens of times until it lands.

How does this fit alongside our case management system?

It sits next to it. Capstone Workforce is an interview-coaching and outcome-reporting layer, not a case-management system. Your existing intake, eligibility, and program tracking workflow stays where it is. We fill the practice-and-readiness gap that case-management tools were never built for.

Can we customize scenarios for our specific fair-chance employer partners?

Yes. Set up custom scenarios per employer or per role. Configure the AI persona, the question style, the difficulty, and the evaluation rubric. If you have a regular construction-trades placement partner, build a scenario for it. The participants practice that exact conversation before they walk in.

How does outcome reporting work for our funder mix?

CSV and PDF exports of skill progression, baseline-to-current readiness, session counts, and cohort comparisons. Field labels map to WIOA measurable skill gains and credential attainment indicators. The same exports work for state DOC and DOJ grants, foundation funders, and federal WIOA reporting officers. Multi-tenant data isolation keeps your program scoped.

What does pricing look like for a small or mid-size reentry program?

Cohort Packs start at $4,500 per 16-week cycle (up to 50 participants, full platform included). For smaller programs we can structure pricing around grant funding cycles. Most reentry program partners we talk to are working with a mix of federal WIOA, state corrections-to-workforce dollars, and foundation grants.
