I graduated from college last year and has since been looking for steady employment in Tampa, FL. I am always honest with the companies, but have thought of not disclosing my one felony conviction. Are there any agencies or organization that help educated convicts land a feasible employment?

here is something else i found
"About to get out of prison? Need a job? The Department of Labor
offers jobs and apprenticeships throughout the US and they hire
ex-cons. All you have to do is call their toll-free number at:
1-877-US2-JOBS or visit their website at http://www.doleta.gov . They
can direct yo to a job or apprenticeship in your area. Don't forget to
be honest with them, they ARE the federal government."
