BMCC, CAPECO partners
In recent years, eastern Oregon
communities have been selected
for the siting of four prison
facilities. These facilities need
staff for every area of operation,
from cooks to clerks to
correctional
officers.
The
majority of the staff have and
will continue to come from the
local communities.
Since the siting of the Two
Rivers Correctional Institution in
Umatilla, representatives of
several local agencies have been
meeting with representatives of
the Two Rivers facility and other
correctional
officials. One
important issue for local
agencies during these meetings
has
been
employment
opportunities for local citizens.
This past spring Blue
Mountain Community College
and Community Action Program
East Central Oregon forged a
partnership to develop an eight-
week, pre-employment course
for local citizens who may be
interested in pursing a career in
corrections.
The course, Careers in Oregon
Department of Corrections, or
CODOC, was first offered this
past summer term. The program
proved very successful, with 15
area residents entering and
completing the program, and
approximately
30
people
indicating an interest in taking
the course at a later time, said a
BMCC news release.
That later time is now. The
CODOC program is scheduled
to begin October 12 at BMCC’s
West Campus in Hermiston. In
order to be admitted to the
CODOC program applicants
must possess a high school
diploma or a GED and a valid
driver's license, pass a drug
screening and a criminal history
investigation,
successfully
complete the ASSET placement
test at BMCC and complete an
evaluation
and
interview
process.
The course is designed to
introduce participants to state
government and to provide
specific information about the
field of corrections, including
security
writing,
resume
preparation and successful
interviewing techniques.
During the final four weeks of
the program, participants will
complete tours of Eastern
Oregon Correctional Institution,
Two
Rivers
Correctional
Institution, attend an inmate
orientation session and a facility
staff meeting and complete
individual on-the-job training
assignments.
Although local corrections
officials support the philosophy
of the CODOC program, it is not
associated with nor endorsed by
the Department of Corrections,
said the release.
A total of 20 credits from
BMCC will be awarded to those
who complete the program. Area
residents who are interested in
attending should contact the
Advising and Testing Center at
BMCC,
541/278-5929
or
541/278-5930.
