Donor Name: National Institute of Corrections
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 07/08/2022
Size of the Grant: $120,000
Details:
In an unprecedented era of staffing shortages, good staffing plans and practices go a long way toward achieving an agency’s most important mandate: providing safety for staff, the public, and those in custody. Agencies that conduct a staffing analysis by following an industry-recognized process, will compile and analyze the data necessary to recognize where efficiencies can be made, establish or modify policies that affect staffing, and provide justification for current or future staffing needs.
Though well regarded by the corrections community for the quality content and delivery of their in-class training programs, restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic forced NIC to rethink their instructional delivery methods in order to continue delivering the quality services their constituents deserve and have come to expect. Through this process, they discovered that some training programs are delivered more effectively and result in better outcomes using the virtual instructor-led training (VILT) model. Agencies and personnel that might not have previously been able to attend an in-person training event due to workload or other factors can now participate in this virtual training.
NIC is committed to providing the training, technical assistance, and materials to the field to ensure correctional agencies are equipped with the knowledge and tools to deploy staff appropriately and effectively. NIC will expect the provider selected under this program to deliver the virtual instructor-led training curriculum for staffing analysis. This program aims to advance operational safety and security by enhancing correctional staffing practices through innovative training, and technical assistance.
Objectives
- Deliver NIC’s virtual instructor-led staffing analysis training curriculum, which applies to all correctional facility settings.
