A new pilot program to help inmates is being launched at Lakeshore Technical College in Cleveland.
The school has announced that a newly awarded $75,000 grant along with local program partners are supplementing other grant funds to total a $160,000 investment in the program.
It is aimed at helping inmates avoid further incarceration by providing instruction in basic work readiness skills and also providing welding training.
The grant was awarded to a group of three organizations that will work together on the program.
They are LTC, Bay Area Workforce Development, and Great Lakes Training and Development.
The program will support opportunities for Manitowoc and Sheboygan County jail inmates to become better prepared to re-enter the community.
