The Academy for Career Development

   The Academy for Career Development is an education, training and employment program for adults with histories of incarceration who have personal goals for avoiding recidivism and becoming economically self-sufficient citizens.   


The Academy is more than education, job training or employment.

The core purposes are establishing a sense of status and esteem through enrollment, a sense of belonging and connection to others, experiencing acceptance through a group process and goal-setting as well as achievement. The entire process is rooted in cognitive behavioral techniques and will be done in a faith-based, supportive environment. The end goal is for each returning neighbor to find the life God has always intended for them.


 

Stable employment is critical.

"Stable employment is critical to a successful transition into the community, but reentering individuals often encounter significant barriers in finding employment upon release from prisons and jails, including low levels of education, limited vocational (or marketable) skills and limited work experience.

Mentorship Program

Mentors will build relationships with returning citizens for at least six months as they transition back into society. Over this period, a mentor will meet in person

with a mentee a few times in public venues (e.g., library) and call the mentee to check in on the person once a week. 

Reentry programs have demonstrated the overwhelming need for employment opportunities for people released from prison and jail, and the need to facilitate the creation of job opportunities for this population.
