What the grant funds

In an unprecedented era of staffing shortages, good staffing plans and practices go a long way toward achieving an agency's most important mandate: providing safety for staff, the public, and those in custody. Agencies that conduct a staffing analysis by following an industry-recognized process, will compile and analyze the data necessary to recognize where efficiencies can be made, establish or modify policies that affect staffing, and provide justification for current or future staffing needs. Though well regarded by the corrections community for the quality content and delivery of our in-class training programs, restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic forced NIC to rethink our instructional delivery methods in order to continue delivering the quality services our constituents deserve and have come to expect. Through this process, we discovered that some training programs are delivered more effectively and result in better outcomes using the virtual instructor-led training (VILT) model. Agencies and personnel that might not have previously been able to attend an in-person training event due to workload or other factors can now participate in this virtual training. NIC is committed to providing the training, technical assistance, and materials to the field to ensure correctional agencies are equipped with the knowledge and tools to deploy staff appropriately and effectively. NIC will expect the provider selected under this program to deliver the virtual instructor-led training curriculum for staffing analysis.
