These services will include GED preparation, college application assistance, financial aid assistance, employment training, job search assistance, housing assistance, and life skills training/counseling. This program will improve the educational skills of previously incarcerated youth, improve their likelihood of passing the GED, and increase their potential for success in higher education and/or the workplace. The Consortium will achieve these goals by measuring 1) the percentage of participants who pass the GED; 2) the percentage of participants who seek either higher education or employment; and 3) the percentage of participants who remain active in the program.
