Thank you all for your support in our program, Resume Your Life. The goals of our program are to reduce recidivism in the prison system and cause lasting changes to better our community. The lasting changes will put extra money into better schools, roads, and health care system. The participants will learn to write cover letters, resumes, and job interview skills. The equipment needed for the project wasn’t much. There are six laptops, a portable printer, and printer paper. The participants will conduct research on the current workforce. At the end of the class, they will have a polished resume and skills to get an honest job. The grant that we received from the Human Fund covered the cost of everything and we ready to begin our classes. Our program at FCI Morgantown will have a great impact on our community! These skills will help them obtain good and dependable jobs to deter them from a life of crime. Our classes will begin August 6th and end at September 14th at the Federal Correctional Institute Morgantown. The final is a mock job fair on September 20th, in which the participants will display the skills they have learned.
Tomorrow, we have our first class of the Resume Your Life program! We have reviewed our participants’ records and have a plan for each. The research they will conduct on how to put together a resume will help them be prepared for job interviews. Our team has reviewed the computer programs, how to operate the equipment, and are ready to train the participants. The program will give them the opportunity to secure honest jobs upon their release from Federal Correctional Institute Morgantown. The English 304 Community Education program will be a beacon to the participants’ to regain control of their lives!
