Programming Built for Corrections
We focus on and operate exclusively in the Corrections space, meaning that 100% of our curriculum and content library is tailored for justice involved Learners. Our programming covers a wide range of topics, from basic literacy, GED preparation, and college courses, to high-demand vocational training, rehabilitative focused substance abuse and mental health curricula, all designed to help build skills to break the cycle of recidivism.
Comprehensive education
for complex challenges
Educational
With so many incarcerated people left behind by the traditional education system, we work to break down stigmas of adult education and showcase how important and empowering it can be to build up fundamental skills that some never had the opportunity to learn. While there is much excitement about Second Chance Pell, the majority require remedial or preparatory learning in order to qualify or be academically ready for post-secondary courses. Edovo efficiently bridges that divide.
Vocational
It is difficult for someone with a record to secure a job, which is why we build up existing skills, train in new areas, and illustrate how to apply these capabilities to a wide variety of opportunities available in their communities.
Rehabilitative
Trauma, mental health, and substance use issues have plagued incarcerated people for years. Addressing and educating in these essential areas is crucial not only for lasting rehabilitation but also for improving safety in facilities today. We will not have success in other areas if we do not address some of the fundamental challenges facing our Learners.
Evaluated for excellence
Every individual experiencing incarceration has a unique story, skill set, and needs. While one person may be ready for advanced career training, another may need to develop their emotional intelligence. That’s why Edovo focuses on comprehensive and expansive programming, covering academic, vocational, and rehabilitative content. We strive to provide a wide array of options so every individual can find, chart, and stay on their own path towards success.
​
But providing options isn’t all we do.
​
We believe that every individual has the right to access high-quality programming. To deliver on this belief, we have partnered with hundreds of highly specialized content providers who pass our rigorous screening process to deliver high-quality, evidence-based programming in all educational content areas.
