The Department of Corrections manages over 8,000 prisoners and a further 34,000 offenders at any one time. My role within Corrections was to dictate the direction of and support the provision of vocational education and training as part of a framework of rehabilitative and reintegrative interventions offered, primarily to prisoners.

This includes developing accreditation for our 300 internal instructors across 40 trade areas as well as overseeing relationships with polytechnics and private training establishments to deliver targeted provision to prisoners directly.
