Job Description

　　IN2WORK (I2W) is a vocational culinary and retail training program for people who are currently incarcerated. The IN2WORK program aims to help reduce recidivism by providing incarcerated students with the opportunity to learn transferable, foundational food service and retail job skills through a comprehensive curriculum requiring classroom and hands-on training. Students receive a nationally recognized certification, scholarships, and preferential hiring status upon completion of the program, a key differentiator when looking for employment after release.
