Rep. Walker speaks at a press conference in favor of the STRIDE Program.
The STRIDE Program is designed to provide participants with job readiness, job search, job placement, and job retention skills and supports that will promote access to higher paying, personally relevant jobs. These jobs satisfy local labor market demands statewide. Participants are non-custodial parents currently incarcerated at York Correctional Institution in Niantic and Bergin Correctional Institution in Storrs. Participants receive one/one counseling and group supports as well as pre and post release case management services. In addition, community transition plans address barriers and needs regarding housing, transportation, clothing and family reunification. STRIDE is made possible through the collaborative efforts of CT's state legislators, the CT Departments of Corrections, Labor, & Social Services Welfare to Work Initiative.
