## What the grant funds

The National Institute of Corrections seeks to update the curriculum entitled: Management Development for Women and Minorities in Corrections. The goal is to provide women and minorities with the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills vital to their development as effective managers and leaders in corrections. Despite the increase of career opportunities in the corrections field, qualified staff are often hampered in career advancement because they lack significant management experience. Sometimes the challenge is that only a few employees have the needed skills to take on comprehensive assignments. To address this issue, “Corrections needs to invest some time into helping other employees acquire those needed skills” (Williams and Multhaup, 2018). To meet this challenge effectively requires the development of diverse managerial and leadership skills. The challenge to the most informed and insightful executive leader is to work to exceed federally mandated expectations in the workplace to advance women and minorities when real constitutional challenges to civil rights are viral. Diversity is a business asset and a key element of business success. “Eliminating practices which exclude or present barriers to minorities and women, et al. as well as sufficient training and opportunities for additional education are a few of the top fifteen best practices to help leaders with diversity goals and challenges” (Roeland 2016).
