The U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) awarded Literacy Services of Wisconsin, Inc. a $900,000 Project Grant under the Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative (CFDA 16.812) to implement the Partnerships for Access to Credentials and Training (PACT) program. The PACT program will provide a comprehensive approach to adult education, addressing the needs of adults without secondary education credentials while concurrently offering career-focused preparation and skills training. Key program activities include enrollment in adult education programming, employment coaching and training, and integrated education and training (IET) or post-secondary programs. Expected outcomes include increased literacy, attainment of high school equivalency credentials, job training, and IET or post-secondary enrollment. Literacy Services of Wisconsin, a non-profit organization, plans to coordinate additional wraparound services with program partners to provide a holistic approach to reentry, with education and individual career goals as the central focus.
