The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PADOC) has implemented a 60-hour "Pathway to Success" course for inmates who wish to enroll in vocational coursework. The purpose of this course is two-fold: to ensure that PADOC inmates are enrolling in vocational courses for which they have both the aptitude and the interest to excel, and to better prepare inmates for workplace success upon release. Course design took into account several unique factors, including creation of a career plan unique to each inmate; limited availability of technology in a secure institution setting; and consideration of the realities of employment for those with criminal records while at the same time encouraging this population to pursue career goals. The 60-hour curriculum was designed to present units and lessons that scaffold, so that each lesson builds upon what was learned in the previous lesson. Units also include regional information, including local labor market information and workforce development system "one-stop" services. All lessons are aligned to the Pennsylvania Department of Education K-12 Standards, the College and Career Readiness Standards, and Pennsylvania's Foundation Skills Framework.
