The community college is working with sheriffs in several parishes, including Bossier, Webster, Desoto, Natchitoches, and Sabine, with plans to deliver a variety of non-credit, accelerated training opportunities. This would prepare eligible inmates with the necessary skills and knowledge to earn entry-level employment. Incarcerated students will pursue classes in fields that include, but are not limited to, carpentry, customer service, digital literacy, forklift operation, kitchen cookery, fiber optic technology, and much more.
“We believe that education is a powerful tool for transformation and empowerment, and through these additional offerings, we aim to support incarcerated individuals in building brighter futures for themselves and for our communities,” said Don Howard, Director of Workforce Solutions at BPCC.
Since expanding program offerings in the region’s correctional facilities, more than 215 inmate students at the David Wade Correctional Center in Homer, Louisiana, have completed industry-based credentials that they can use upon release.
