EMPLOY (Minnesota)
This is an employability program for incarcerated individuals in the prison system. The aim is to reduce recidivism and help with the occupational reintegration process after leaving prison.
Follow-up begins in the final months of the sentence and continues until the first year of release. A week before the inmates leave prison, a vocational development specialist identifies possible job vacancies, taking into account each individual’s skills, occupational experience ,and geographical area of residence.
