With the Corrections Career Transition
Certified (CCTC) program, no longer will re-entry transition specialists
or the pre-released inmates they serve find themselves having to find
their way through the maze of ‘hiring and job search techniques’ to
prevent recidivism.
New Directions, Inc. has established a program designed to help the offender, help the
re-entry coordinator/transition consultant and help American business.
The program is designed to give pre-released individuals ONE thing to
think about and do every day for 60 days, prior to release, to
re-integrate quickly. The goal is to help the pre-released inmate
prepare to become a meaningful participant in society. The program
includes:
-
Five different assessments tools;
-
CD’s to help the individual
think outside the box (when in most cases they are fearful and leery of
what lies ahead of them upon release);
-
Processes by which to master
interviewing, negotiation, overcoming liabilities (especially that of
being a previous offender with a record), personal target marketing,
realistic expectations from hiring authorities, image presentation,
resume development, identification of viable companies and recruiters,
as well as tracking of the individual upon release.
Program Modules
The CCTC course includes the following
modules:
Personality Assessments and Creative
Thinking: Provides an overview of the steps necessary to make better
career choices and find work that is truly satisfying. The course
explores over 50 methods for breaking away from old habits and
non-productive behaviors and to successfully think “Outside the Box” to
find the right employment. It also provides the tools necessary to help
you unlock the secrets of your personality type to allow you to find a
truly fulfilling job that enhances the quality of your life.
Career Transition Management:
Provides an overview of the entire career transition and job search
process. The job-search system described in the CD set and the
accompanying Career Transition Manual was developed to expose each
individual to a maximum number of available opportunities in both the
advertised and unadvertised market segments. The coordinated approach
covered in this course will help the individual to determine who wants
you for what you really want to do.
Mastery of Interview and Negotiation
Techniques: Provides an overview of the entire interviewing and
income-package negotiation process.
Resume and Cover Letter Development
Strategies: Provides an overview of a very different and extremely
effective approach to writing resumes and cover letters based on
business principles and advertising concepts. The course explores the 25
things an ex-offender must know about letters and resumes, the 35 resume
and letter writing mistakes to be avoided, and step-by-step instructions
on developing a resume.
Pre-Release Preparations: Provides
an overview of the entire pre-release and career transition and job
search process. The pre-release training system described in the
textbook was developed to thoroughly prepare each inmate for the day of
release. Required exercises for each of the 60 days prior to release
will be completed as if you were the inmate. The coordinated approach
covered in this course will help the individual to become thoroughly
prepared for release.
