R.O.L. - Occupational and Employment Resources: Programme aimed at inmates in Third Level Penitentiary

The R.O.L project will develop a series of web-based tools to increase the employment potential of inmates in Third Level Penitentiary (short term, low-sentence or imminent release prisoners).The project will develop a needs evaluation tool to enable the development of a professional and occupational profile for third level inmates, to be established via a web-based platform allowing access for both individual inmates and relevant support staff (appropriate ICT set-ups to also be established within the involved institutions).A further business information tool will be developed (also web-based) for work with individual employers in determining current attitudes towards the employment of ex-offenders.Both tools will be developed and validated via the project partnership and will be extended across the relevant partner languages (ES, EN, IT, & FR). Information gathered from activities undergone with these newly developed tools, will be gathered in a dedicated database on the web platform to allow common partner access to the results. Further use will be made of the gathered data in the preparation of a 'Guide to Occupational Resources' for use by support staff within the target institutions. A 'training of trainers' course will be held to further instruct support staff in the use of the developed tools.Beyond the development of tools and training for support staff, additional activities will be undertaken as regards the development of an outline strategy for work with employers and Social Partners in the re-integration of ex-offenders into the modern labour market. Partners will use 'lessons learned' from the project to contribute to social dialogue on this issue (press, radio, input at conferences, etc.) and will work closely with both Social Partners and employers to better encourage the social re-insertion of those recently released from institutions.
