Today, Northwest State Correctional Facility will be running the table in the Expo South Building. There’s a big difference between having an opinion about corrections and actually doing the job. Not every job is for everyone, and some discover that firsthand. Opinions are easy. Doing the job is harder.

Come by and chat with facility staff to learn more directly from those who are succeeding in the job every day. 😎

Day 4 of the Champlain Valley Fair. Work. Live. Repeat.

What if your work schedule gave you more time for life outside of work? With the 2/2/3 work life balance schedule at the Vermont Department of Corrections, we give your more than a job-we give you time back. That means more time for family. More time to get outside. More time to enjoy the Champlain Valley Fair. Whatever you like to do with your free time, go do it with the time we can give you back. Work to live, not live to work! Find out more in the Expo South building. We have staff here to chat or handouts for those just passing by.
