Vocational Education in Corrections

A Piece of a Bigger Pie

John S. Platt

John S. Platt is a professor in the Department of Special Education at West Virginia University. He received his EdD from the University of Kansas in the area of learning disabilities. He has been involved in corrections since 1974 and was a co-developer of an OSERs-funded model project for handicapped incarcerated adults. He is currently involved in the development and intervention of a transition project in West Virginia.

Vocational education is a vital area of programming for handicapped juvenile offenders. Vocational education programs should promote independence to counteract the dependency that is typically fostered in correctional institutions. In addition, vocational programs must include a transition component, which stresses critical job retention skills. The development of a vocational program that leads to successful job placement and retention depends upon the skills and cooperation of a variety of personnel within the institution and the community.
