VendEngine Launches E-Learning Digital Education Platform for Inmates
Summary
The platform will provide educational content, partnered with workforce development applications and certifications an inmate may receive while incarcerated. With recidivism rates from 70%-80% across the U.S., the need to provide rehabilitation for incarcerated individuals is greater than ever and this partnership is designed to address that issue. “We feel this is a very good step in filling that gap.” “By partnering with VendEngine, MaxxContent, a leader in digital content and workforce development solutions, partners with one of the market’s leading content delivery platforms to provide opportunities for inmates to engage in digital resources and drive job readiness,” said Jean Mevs, President of MaxxContent. We enter the fight against recidivism by inspiring the hope of a better future.” The combined partnership delivers education and curriculum to support professional development, technical skills, recovery, video documentaries, and access to a library of eBooks. “Bringing these tools behind the walls of the facilities with the goal of retooling inmates to a successful reentry and reduced recidivism means we have the ability to impact the lives of more than 100,000 incarcerated individuals across the VendEngine platform,” said Mevs.
