Northeastern Technical College (NETC) is proud to announce that Danielle Pace, Dean of Students, has completed the Corrections Education Leadership Academy (CELA), a national program run by the Vera Institute of Justice.
This one-year program helps leaders improve college programs for people in prison. It brings together education experts from across the country to learn new ways to support students who are incarcerated. The program includes video meetings, in-person events, and group projects.
Pace learned about many important topics, including how to make sure prison education is fair, how to choose strong education programs, and how to help students plan for careers after they leave prison. The program also focused on using data, budgeting for programs, and listening to student voices.
By finishing this program, Pace will bring new skills and ideas to NETC and its work with prison education in South Carolina. This training will help improve the quality of education for students in prison and give them better chances to succeed after release.
