The Reentry Career Pamphlet Series is designed to help ex-offender reenter the society and the workforce. These pamphlets give an overview of basic skills needed to succeed at home and on the job. They can be used as instructional tools, or as an intial assessment to determine needed services.

The program is designed to screen clients into two categories –

• those ready to launch into independent successful employment with only a review of job readiness and basic life skills
  
• the more dependant individuals in need of skill training and
  additional support services.

Reentry pamphlets focus on three topics – honesty, money, and self-confidence. The holistic approach has the offender practicing budgeting time and money, as well as self-reporting honestly in the activities in these pamphlets.

Features:

• Four-page, full-color pamphlets focus on specific job and life skills.
  
• A Reality: What to Expect box appears on the front of each pamphlet. These boxes orient the ex-offender to job realities, anticipated emotions, and other people’s reactions to life transitions– all the traps of typical recidivism.
  
• Concrete “How To’s” have been written wherever possible. All abstract language is removed to reduce facilitating the “scheming” and poor decision-making that often leads to re-addiction and recidivism.
  
• Each pamphlet contains at least one activity or exercise
  
• Information is presented in small, chunked segments for individuals functioning with potentially undeclared learning disabilities.
  
• All materials are designed to target a 9th grade reading level – the minimum required literacy for many programs.
