The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is offering this cooperative agreement to validate the Employment Retention Inventory (ERI), a tool supporting workforce development for offenders. This project aims to determine if the ERI effectively identifies precursors, obstacles, and personality traits influencing an offender’s separation from the workforce. Additionally, it will explore the relationship between offender employment retention and recidivism. Work involves developing a system to capture and evaluate data, and producing a written report summarizing findings, recommendations, and next steps. This collaborative initiative with the NIC Community Services Division seeks to enhance understanding of factors impacting offender workforce success.
