Incarcerated Education Questions and Answers
July 23, 2007
 

Question #1

Our jail has fewer than 70 inmates and generally five or six Incarcerated Youth at any one time. Would a program that offered OSHA 10 Construction Safety Certificates and Lead Awareness Certificates be eligible for this funding? It would be combined with weekly Job Search Skills instruction on career interests, occupational exploration, networking, nontraditional job search techniques, filling out applications, creating a Resume, and how to succeed in an interview. Due to the limited number of students, the OSHA instruction probably could not be held more than six to eight times a year.

Answer #1

The purpose of the funding is to support requests to develop career pathways and programs of study that result in the ability of the student to secure employment in high wage, high skill, and high demand areas. The applicant should provide compelling supportive documentation to show that programs requested for funding meet this requirement. Page two of the application provides additional information regarding ways to achieve the result previously mentioned.
