Rehabilitation programs within correctional facilities often struggle to address fundamental educational barriers that hinder inmates’ successful reintegration into society. Research indicates that improving literacy levels and identifying barriers to reading can significantly enhance self-esteem, spark a desire for continued education, and foster a sense of respect for self and society.
This 12-week program engages Business and MBA students in real-world projects focused on literacy tools and initiatives. Students will work in teams to research, analyze, and develop innovative solutions to address global literacy challenges. The projects aim to provide practical experience in market analysis, strategic planning, product testing, and campaign development while fostering skills in collaboration, creativity, communication, and critical thinking.
