Employment Focused Services

About This Grant

DCJS is committed to implementing evidence-based practices in programs and services that reduce recidivism, promote public safety and ensure offender accountability. DCJS Employment Focused Services ATI programs offer interventions that are supported by research including: cognitive behavioral interventions, job readiness, education/vocation services and transitional and subsidized employment leading to long term employment with wages that promote self-sufficiency. These programs address the dynamic influences that predict the likelihood of criminality, and provide interventions specific to the needs of justice involved individuals. Intensity and dosage provided are based on the participant's level of risk for reoffending and needs related to obtaining and maintaining employment.
