The Relationship between Participation in Different Types of Training Programs and Gainful Employment of Formerly Incarcerated Individuals Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017. Also: https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/handle/2142/99339 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Keyword(s): Employment; Incarceration/Jail; Training Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. According to the United States Department of Justice (2017), over 10,000 formerly incarcerated individuals are released each week from federal and state prisons. Approximately two-thirds of this population will be re-arrested within three years of release. Although employment has been found to reduce recidivism, the majority of formerly incarcerated individuals lack the education and skills necessary to compete in the labor market. The purpose of this study is to draw upon human capital theory and workforce development concepts to examine the relationship between participation in different types of training programs and gainful employment of formerly incarcerated individuals. The three types of training programs considered in this study are school-based training programs, pre-employment training programs, and post-employment training programs. Generalized linear mixed models are used to determine if each type of training is related to employment status and income. Based on a sample from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), post-employment training programs are positively related to gainful employment for formerly incarcerated individuals. |

The Relationship between Participation in Different Types of Training Programs and Gainful Employment for Formerly Incarcerated Individuals Human Resource Development Quarterly 29,3 (Fall 2018): 263-286. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hrdq.21325 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Employment; Incarceration/Jail; Occupational Status; Training Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. According to the U.S. Department of Justice (2007), over 10,000 formerly incarcerated individuals are released each week from federal and state prisons. The purpose of this study is to draw upon human capital theory to examine the relationships between the types of training programs and gainful employment for formerly incarcerated individuals. Three types of training programs considered in this study are school‐based training programs, pre‐employment training programs, and postemployment training programs. Generalized linear mixed models are used to determine if each type of training program is related to employment status and income. Based on a sample from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), postemployment training programs are positively related to gainful employment for formerly incarcerated individuals. This result emphasizes the pivotal role of employers in addressing mass incarceration through human resources development (HRD). |
