TEACHER EXTERNSHIP PROGRAMExternships help teachers tie real-world working experiences to their curriculum. With exposure to the skills it takes to succeed in a particular discipline, teachers can bring unique insights into their classroom that will benefit students preparing for their future in those specific areas. Businesses also have the opportunity to offer input for curriculum, thus supporting their future workforce. |

SECOND CHANCE INITIATIVESIn Maryland, there are a number of second chance programs offered that provide training to ex-offenders to get them ready to re-enter the workforce or to enter it for the first time. Employment increases an ex-offenders likelihood of achieving success in all areas of life and reduces recidivism. These programs throughout the state are equipping individuals with the specific skills they need for targeted careers and are helping to break down barriers to employment. Through rigorous training, apprenticeship placement and more, these second chance programs are benefiting both the individuals and the state. |
