Expected Outcomes

Employment (Data shows that the recidivism rate for our graduates is 1%)
Data shows that 83% of our graduates interview BETTER than people the employers are interviewing on the outside.
The statistics demonstrate that graduates of the program: communicate well, are clear about their work values, answer interview questions directly and concisely, ask relevant questions, articulate their strengths and weaknesses, present their skills both verbally and on a resume, and address their criminal history briefly and with accountability.
