Evidence-Based Workforce Development – Facilitator Training
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is committed to establishing collaborative relationships with various tribal, local, and state correctional agencies and the Federal Bureau of Prisons to increase the opportunity for justice-involved adults to experience post-release success (defined as maintaining
a prosocial lifestyle and sustained attachment to the workforce following release from incarceration or supervision).
NIC’s emphasis on research-based practices and programing requires structured training to provide criminal justice practitioners with the knowledge and skills needed to support the reentry goals of justice-involved adults, thereby increasing public safety.Practitioners must be able to identify a person’s specific criminogenic risks and develop programming in response to the identified risk/need areas.
Qualified practitioners increase their effectiveness when using programming and services based on evidence-based research, i.e., training specific to cognitive-behavioral intervention, motivational interviewing techniques, effective case management, and validated risk assessments.The Evidence-Based Workforce Development Training developed by NIC (https://s 3. amazonaws.com/static.nicic.gov/Downloads/Employment-Retention-Instructor-Guide.pdf) in 2010, with anticipated minor updates in September 2023, provides practitioners with the knowledge and skills required to assist justice-involved adults as they explore the values, thoughts, and feelings supporting positive lifestyle choices and gainful attachment to the workforce.
In addition, the training provides instruction on how to effectively administer the Employment Retention Inventory – a case management tool developed to identify the criminogenic risks affecting recidivism and job loss among justice-involved adults.
