Every quarter, the NEPEC team hosts a virtual workshop, which leverages insights from experts both in the region and beyond to address some of the most salient topics in higher education in prison. While open to the public, these quarterly workshops are structured so that they are particularly relevant to state stakeholders engaged in NEPEC’s state strategic planning initiative, which runs in year-long cycles. This aligns with one of NEPEC’s overarching goals: to support all New England states in developing state strategic plans aimed at expanding the quality and quantity of prison education program portfolios—and, if desired, pathways to vocational education—over the next five years. In this way, these events serve as capacity-building sessions for states in the region: both those who are currently undergoing our state strategic planning process and those who plan to do so in the future.
