Nucleos presents, "One Person. One Plan. Many Partners." Every individual on a second-chance journey has a different story, different challenges, and different goals. A one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work. In this webinar, we’ll explore how personalized learning and support pathways can help individuals identify their strengths, address their needs, and build a meaningful path forward. Through the Nucleos platform, education, career development, mental health resources, reentry support, and essential soft skills can come together to form a coordinated strategy for success. When these services are connected through trusted partners, organizations can move beyond separate programs and create a support system tailored to each person. Because real progress happens when we focus on one person, create one plan, and bring together many partners.

Abstract:
Offenders who develop strong soft skills in prison have a better chance at reducing their sentence, having a successful re-entry, and gaining meaningful employment. An effective soft skills program requires careful selection and focus on the needed skills, adaptable resources, different teaching methods, consistent assessment, and specific individualized feedback and encouragement. In a correctional setting, inmate facilitators can help extend soft skills programs outside the classroom. Inmate facilitators can also help correctional educators relate lessons in soft skills to other inmate learners. This webinar will present the evolution of a Pace Life Skills Program at Folsom State Prison (Represa, CA)—a leisure-time activity that has boasted a waiting list of over 200 inmates! Join us to learn about teaching and evaluating soft skills in a correctional setting, including thoughts from Edwin McMillan, a recently-released former Pace Life Skills Facilitator.
