Reentry and Employment White Paper, Pilot Site Opportunity
The National Reentry Resource Center, with funding support from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance, will present a webinar on reducing recidivism and promoting job readiness.
The event will be Tuesday, July 15, from 2-3:30 p.m. Eastern time.
The webinar will provide policymakers and practitioners in the criminal justice, corrections, and workforce development fields with an overview of the recently published white paper, Integrated Reentry and Employment Strategies: Reducing Recidivism and Promoting Job Readiness. The webinar will also provide information on how jurisdictions can apply to become a pilot site for the Integrated Reentry and Employment Strategies Demonstration Project.
