WISCONSIN - A group of 10 women inmates at Taycheedah Correctional Institution, near Fond du Lac, are learning basic manufacturing skills in a new program designed to help them find jobs when they're released and earn college credits for finishing the class. The training also has been launched at state prisons in Oshkosh and Kettle Moraine, where inmates spend six weeks learning skills such as machine maintenance and blueprint reading. The programs are from Lakeshore Technical College, the state Department of Corrections, and the state Department of Workforce Development, said Jim Golembeski, executive director of the Bay Area Workforce Development Board. Corrections spent $100,000 to get a 25% ownership stake in one of the mobile laboratories used to provide the training, and it's considering buying another mobile lab it will own outright. Taycheedah inmates are in their third week of training, which is held every day, about seven hours a day, for six weeks. Read More. |
