Her work also focuses strongly on helping students develop life skills so they can take care of themselves.  For some, this involves ‘making the change’ and turning a corner to avoid going back to prison. In this way FE makes a vital contribution to lowering recidivism rates.

A college saying ‘Yes’ when everyone else has said ‘No’ – that’s a big thing.
