Evan BrennerHOST
In your opinion, one or two trends in workforce development or reentry or just any of the industries that tie back to workforce development that are underrated or something that is maybe overlooked right now that should be maybe a little more looked at?

Rusty BechtoldGUEST
And also to set up for the listeners just to understand that, you know, back in the 1990s when I started, job reentry was not a thing.

Rusty BechtoldGUEST
That was not the mission of Corrections or Correctional Industries at the time.

Rusty BechtoldGUEST
So I have watched it grow over time and start to actually... now pay attention to the fact that, you know, our products that we were producing is not the products we were producing.

Rusty BechtoldGUEST
It was the individuals coming out of our process that's really what our goal was.

Evan BrennerHOST
Looking forward to the future, what are a few future trends to look for in reentry that tie back to workforce and workforce development? Just a few maybe future forward thinking things that you're looking at.
