The federally funded grant, Workplace and Community Transition Training Program for Incarcerated Youth Offenders, is designed to help incarcerated students make a smooth transition back into their community upon release. Program components include individual career and job employability assessment, professional development classes, and a portfolio student can take with them that include essential identification and documents, class and job training certificates, community based support referrals, and a personalized plan of action to maximize their potential for success.

Besides their participation in transition classes, students meet with a transition coordinator for individual planning prior to their release that includes a plan for continued mentoring in the community. The intent is to better prepare offenders for release and to reduce recidivism rates.
