The DOC is excited to announce a new report available to help staff, inmates and reentrants.
As part of the Career Pathways grant, our goal is to get inmates "job-ready" prior to and post release. One way to achieve this is to emphasize that all education and work experience gained while incarcerated is beneficial to gaining employment upon release. To attain this goal a new report was created in DOCInfo that lists information to create a resume and share pertinent data with potential employers and other workforce partners.
Here is a list of information available on the report.
- Educational Credentials/Level – Highest verified level of education
- Initial TABE – Test date and score
- TABE Details – Additional test dates and scores
- Trade Based Credentials – All credentials earned during incarceration
- Inmate Employment – Work history up to 10 years of incarceration
An inmate can use this report to create and/or update a resume prior to release. A reentrant can use this report to create and/or update a resume after release, share with local PA CareerLink® staff to verify TABE scores or use to verify employment and trade based credentials earned to a potential employer.
The new report can be provided to the inmate/reentrant at any time, during or after incarceration. It will pull current and former (inactive) inmates. In addition, it will combine information for inmates returned to custody with a new number. All staff with DOCINFO access should have access to this report. If you don't have access or have any questions, please contact Dorenda Hamarlund at
dhamarlund@pa.gov.
We would like to thank BIT for their assistance in creating this new report.
