ANNOTATION: The use of industry-based certification to increase the likelihood that ex-offenders will succeed in finding jobs is explained. Certification plays a vital role because the “reentry success of inmates requires that they develop skills consistent with industry standards and that they obtain recognized and marketable certification, which employers often use as one important criterion for hiring” (p. 1). Sections compiling this publication are: introduction; need for skilled labor; need for certification; certifications for corrections; available certifications; possible certifications; conclusion; certifying organizations; employment opportunities and median wage; what a Career Readiness Certificate (CRC) is; and Internet use in prisons (limited, secure, and virtual).
