Book Description
Individuals who leave correctional facilities need an array of life skills in order to make a successful return to family, community, and workplace. These skills need to be taught in correctional educ. programs. They include not just basic literacy but such things as how to write an application letter and resume; how to prepare for and participate in a job interview; how to deal with supervisors and other authority figures, and provide responsible and consistent work performance; knowledge about budgeting, credit, insur., taxes, and other daily living areas; and parenting, health and nutrition. This report examines 19 grantees from DoE to develop life skills programs.
