ACTE PACE Summit 2024

In recent years, the importance of providing education and training opportunities to incarcerated individuals has been increasingly recognized as a key strategy for reducing recidivism and promoting successful reentry into society. This presentation will explore the crucial role of career and technical education (CTE) for justice-involved populations, both within correctional facilities and in community settings. By examining innovative strategies and hands-on activities, this session aims to equip participants with practical insights to support the reintegration of justice-involved individuals through education and skill development. Emphasis will be placed on building robust partnerships with community organizations, governmental agencies, and employers to enhance the impact and reach of postsecondary CTE programs. Attendees will learn how to leverage these partnerships to foster successful reintegration and academic success for justice-involved individuals.
