Abstract	For juvenile offenders across the state, the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections (ADJC) is the last resort. Faced with limited academic and technical skills, these incarcerated students face a future that is very uncertain. The state recognized that educating this population is a key not only in reducing the dropout rate, but providing the community and businesses with students who have job and academic skills for immediate employment. So it shifted its focus to a hands-on learning approach through career and technical education (CTE). This article describes how students are empowered with skills and knowledge they can use in the real world, which they will re-enter within an average of approximately seven-and-a-half months.
