Strengthen training, connect learning with real jobs, and improve outcomes for people returning to Nebraska communities.

This week, we kicked off Career Pathways in Manufacturing — an 18‑month initiative led by Metropolitan Community College (Nebraska) (MCC) and NDCS, in partnership with the Vera Institute of Justice. Students can pursue manufacturing-focused pathways, including an Associate of Applied Science in Manufacturing Power and Process Operations Technology, a Manufacturing Process Operations certificate, and a pre-apprenticeship program, along with other education and reentry supports.

This project brings together partners from education, corrections, industry, and the community. They toured MCC’s South Omaha Campus, where students train for manufacturing careers, and later gathered for conversation about the project’s goals and participation.

Equipping individuals to succeed after incarceration is bigger than any one agency, and Nebraska’s community partners continue to prove what’s possible when people come together to support others.

Congratulations to the five recent graduates of Persevere Now at the Nebraska Correctional Center for Women (NCCW)! Persevere is a one-year, full stack development coding certification program, with training that offers individuals the ability to use coding and other technology skills to gain employment upon release. A national non-profit organization, Persevere also provides job placement services, instruction in soft skills for the work environment, life skills education, mentoring support, entrepreneurial training, and training opportunities to the children of incarcerated individuals.

We’re excited to see this program grow in Nebraska. Five women at the Community Corrections Center - Lincoln will graduate later this week!

Thank you to our community partners, as well as the peer teacher assistants, who helped these graduates reach this milestone!
