Offender workforce development
Offender workforce development means helping people who did something wrong in the past to learn new skills and find a job so they can have a better future.
Let's say one day you did something you weren't supposed to, like taking a toy from your friend or breaking something. You feel bad about it and apologize, but your friend's toy is already broken and there's nothing you can do to fix it.
Now, imagine you did something much bigger and you got into trouble with the law. You may have to spend some time in a place called prison, where you can't leave and have to follow strict rules. When you get out of prison, it can be hard to find a job because some employers don't want to hire people who have been in trouble with the law.
Offender workforce development helps people who were in prison to learn new skills and prepare for a job. Just like you learn new things in school, people in prison can learn new things too, like how to use a computer, how to cook, or how to do math. They can also learn about jobs that are available and how to apply for them.
When they are ready, they can leave prison and start a new life, with a chance to find a job and support themselves and their families. Just like you learned from your mistake and won't do it again, people who went to prison can learn from their mistake and try to do better in the future.
