In order to assist justice-involved adults with maintaining long-term attachments to the workforce, practitioners must be able to assess those at high risk for job loss, identify specific criminogenic risks, and develop programming in response to the identified risk/need areas. In addition, qualified practitioners increase their effectiveness when utilizing programming and service based on developmental and structural career theories. 

Criminal justice practitioners and their stakeholders must maintain a communication style supporting the exploration of the values, thoughts and beliefs impacting an individual’s quality of life. The Evidence-based Workforce Development Training provides practitioners with the knowledge and skills required to assist justice-involved adults as they explore the values, thoughts and beliefs resulting in job loss and high recidivism rates.
