J.F. Ingram State Technical College is the sole correctional education provider in the State of Alabama. Since the mid-1960’s ISTC has offered adult education, career technical programming, and soft skills exclusively to incarcerated individuals in the Alabama prison system.
Majority of Alabama’s prison population will be released back into society. Ingram State prioritizes education and job training to give individuals the best opportunity for success and lower the recidivism rate in Alabama.
Today, ISTC is working to close the employment gap in Alabama by offering technical training in 19 career fields, adult education and GED preparation, and soft skills training essential for success in today’s workplace.
In 2017, Ingram established the Job Placement Division to better assist post-incarcerated graduates upon their release from prison. Job Placement Coordinators work directly with Ingram graduates to utilize community resources and their industry certification to gain meaningful employment and stability.
