Academic and Vocational Programs
Education Services partners with 43 state community colleges and six other post-secondary institutions of higher learning. Through these partnerships, offenders can obtain basic and postsecondary educational opportunities that will assist them in obtaining and sustaining employment upon release. Additionally, offenders can participate in programming designed to teach them to apply the principles of cognitive behavioral intervention, social skills and mindset, and financial management.
More than 103 vocational programs are offered within state-run prisons to offenders.
