Constructing A New Workforce

Join us March 7th to join national expert, Craig Miller, PhD as he addresses how we can “Construct A New Workforce” in the U.S. by expanding Pr*son education programs.

Dr. Miller teaches at Penn College of Technology, the premier public college affiliated with nationally renowned Penn State University. Penn College of Technology offers hands-on, career-focused, applied programs in engineering, technology, business, and more.

Dr. Miller founded a state and federally funded post-secondary, in-Pr*son education program in upstate New York and is replicating it in Pennsylvania as a co-founder of the Pennsylvania Higher Education in Pr*son Consortium. His thoughtful approach attracts million-dollar grant investments. Dr. Miller also teaches at Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary.

According to the RAND Corporation, “incarcerated people who participate in education programs are 48 percent less likely to recidivate than those who do not. The odds of recidivism decrease as incarcerated people achieve higher levels of education.” These findings are based on a recently updated, comprehensive study that analyzed rigorous research published from 1980 through 2017.
