TPRE Client working on job application
Prior to release, CPI clients take classes on preparing job applications and succeeding in interviews. They attend a transition preparation support group for six weeks and work one-on-one with a case manager to develop personal goals and a release plan.

• Ensure one client has what he/she needs to make their transition and begin living a new life in our community by offering them a scholarship into the TPRE program.
• With just 5% of what it costs to reincarcerate an offender, a scholarship can provide clothing, ID and transportation needed for job interviews, support groups, individual counseling and case management through 90 days of full-time employment.
• This is a great way for local employers with policies prohibiting the hire of a candidate with a felony offense from being hired to help us find them a job at a company that can.
