The FDC is seeking to purchase a proprietary training curriculum that provides staff training and access to course-specific manuals that directly correlate to the "7 Habits on the Inside" program.

FranklinCovey will train FDC staff to facilitate the program for the FDC inmates. This program has proven to increase the positive behavior of inmates and improve the communication skills of its participants. The Department will benefit from this program by restructuring an individual's thought process and mental framework, providing a structured mentoring program that reduces recidivism, and increasing the positive interaction between staff and the inmate population.

Staff members are provided the tools and materials to help implement a course of action once an inmate is released, such as living arrangements, job placement, and conditions specific to one's release, if applicable. FranklinCovey has acquired the copyrights for all course-specific participant manuals, profiles, and assessments associated with this training and is the only approved vendor to provide licensed training and all materials related to it. FranklinCovey is the only vendor that can meet the needs of the Department at this time.
