The Integrating Education and Training (IET) in Corrections project, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE), is pleased to announce a series of technical assistance activities available for states and local program staff to engage in over the next two years.
This project is designed to support the development of IET programs in correctional settings. As a first step, the project is launching a virtual learning series that is open to all correctional education stakeholders and will provide an overview of IET programs, federal and state requirements, and corrections-specific considerations. Examples of IET programs in correctional settings will also be shared.
Please join us on Thursday March 4th to learn more.

Thank you to all those who attended the First Steps: Assessing Readiness for Developing IET Programs in Corrections webinar yesterday. There were many questions posed during the Think Tank part of the program and I would like to give space for those interested in following up with questions, suggestions, or comments.
In case you missed the last webinar, here is what's coming up in the Integrated Education and Training (IET) project funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE). Below are some project updates.
During the second webinar in the virtual learning series, First Steps: Assessing Readiness for Developing IET Programs in Corrections, that was held on March 4, we reviewed readiness factors for developing IET programs and corrections-specific considerations. We shared a Google Form to help you and your partners assess your readiness. We encourage you to complete this form prior to attending one of the next two webinars—IET Programs in Jails and IET Programs in Prisons. We also created a Virtual Discussion Forum (password = first) to give you an opportunity to share challenges, solutions, and technical assistance needs with implementing IET programs in corrections and questions about the IET in Corrections project.
Registration is open for the remaining three webinars in the virtual learning series.
