90 Days to Release
A Structured Pathway to Successful Re-Entry & Employment
iCEV’s 90 Days to Release program is designed to address two key challenges of re-entry: overcoming barriers and employment preparation. The curriculum helps participants develop essential life skills while providing career training and industry certification opportunities.

3-Step Process

A self-paced, flexible curriculum helps participants gain skills, earn certifications, and prepare for employment, tailored to facility requirements.

The iCEV Corrections Team works with educators to customize the program to meet facility needs, ensuring a structured pathway to re-entry success.
The Gap Pack: Workplace Readiness
Mastering Essential Soft Skills for Employment Success
The Gap Pack equips incarcerated individuals with essential workplace readiness skills during their final 90 to 180 days before release. The curriculum focuses on critical soft skills—communication, teamwork, time management, accountability, problem-solving, and digital literacy—helping participants prepare for employment.
Since soft skills are highly valued yet difficult to teach, the program uses iCEV’s Career Cluster Interest Inventory (CCII) to guide participants toward career pathways. The curriculum is divided into five key areas employers prioritize:
- Communication – Writing, coordination, verbal & interpersonal skills
- Working with Others – Leadership, teamwork, customer service, planning
- Professionalism – Accountability, time management, ethics
- Problem-Solving & Decision-Making – Critical thinking, adaptability, resilience
- Digital Literacy – Technical skills, cybersecurity, media literacy
By mastering these skills, participants enhance their employability, setting the foundation for long-term career success.
The iCEV Peer Tutoring Certificate
Empowering Peer Support for Academic Success
Correctional educators increasingly rely on peer tutors to enhance learning, improve academic performance, and reduce recidivism. iCEV’s 80-lesson Peer Tutoring Certificate aligns with industry standards, equipping participants with essential skills to support and mentor others effectively.
This certificate builds credibility, demonstrating expertise in peer-led learning, communication, and leadership. It benefits those in education, community outreach, and professional settings where peer tutoring is essential.
The program can be customized to include state-specific content, such as interpreting TABE Score Reports and understanding institutional policies and procedures.
Career-Readiness Through Skills Validation
The path to an industry certification is included in both the 90 Days to Release and the Gap Pack: Workplace Readiness packages.
