PROWD Resources
About
The Partnerships for Reentry Opportunities in Workforce Development (PROWD) is an initiative of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Labor (DOL) that provides targeted employment services to federally incarcerated individuals as they approach community reentry. The initiative seeks to better align job training and skills development services provided to program participants to the specific labor market needs of the communities where they will live.
The goals of the PROWD initiative are to (1) improve employment outcomes among program participants; (2) strengthen communities where grant programs operate by reducing recidivism among program participants; and (3) increase the capacity of justice and workforce system partnership.
This page highlights resources, promising practices, and success stories designed to help PROWD grantees serve program participants and achieve goals. These resources can be accessed below and in Related Content.
