Iowa prison apprenticeship earns model status in welding
The Corrections Department plans to collect data on ex-offender job outcomes with Iowa Workforce Development this fall. The IDOC Apprenticeship Program is praised as a national model, with six thousand hours of work and curriculum shaping lives, and eleven graduates of welding apprenticeships. The program costs about $150,000 yearly, funded by state agencies and grants, amid a 34.2 percent recidivism rate in 2016.
