Enhancing Community Transitions for Clients: Integrating Reentry & Workforce Development Practices for Better Employment Success & Supervision Outcomes
SESSION INFO
Saturday, June 29, 2024
9:15 AM - 10:45 AM
Session Type: Workshop
Well-managed and results-focused reentry and employment are vital to the stability and success of those we assist and empower during community supervision. Access to meaningful resources, income, and services for improved outcomes are frequently difficult to secure. Our contacts frequently prioritize facilitating and monitoring supervision conditions, such as employment, through shorter visits and swift referrals to the nearest and most accessible programs, resources, or employers. This session will cover collaborative, data and evidence informed approaches to developing effective reentry and workforce development systems that empower clients to become more productive, safe, engaged, and contributory members of their communities. This session will also include a brief exercise where participants can collaborate, innovate, and leave refreshed and energized with new contacts, resources, and local strategies that can strengthen clients’ growth and success during and well beyond supervision.
