Higher Education For Justice-Impacted Individuals
This project presents recommendations for expanding opportunities for justice-impacted individuals in the Virginia Department of Corrections, jails, and detention centers throughout Virginia. Through the development of a multi-module Canvas course, information sharing will be widely used to support the training of instructors and other service providers and act as a one-stop shop for career pathways resources. The addition of a resource page for justice-impacted individuals, was also created at www.Credits2Careers.org/resources
