Which type of inmate program focuses on vocational training?

Vocational counseling and training specifically targets the development of skills and knowledge that will aid an individual in obtaining employment once they are released from incarceration. This type of program directly addresses the vocational aspect by providing practical training in various trades and professions, ultimately aiming to enhance the employability of inmates.

Unlike recovery support programs, which focus on substance abuse rehabilitation, or educational programs, which may include general education or literacy training, vocational counseling and training is distinct in its approach of equipping inmates with specific skills relevant to the job market. Animal care programs, while beneficial in providing meaningful activities and responsibilities, do not primarily emphasize broader vocational skills applicable across multiple employment opportunities.
