BBN Houston presents the HSB Prison Entrepreneurship Program
Date | November 6, 2014 | Time | 7:00 - 8:30 am |
Location | Junior League of Houston 1811 Briar Oaks Ln. Houston, TX | ||
Description | The Prison Entrepreneurship Program (PEP) is prison
outreach from a business perspective. Baylor students volunteer their business
knowledge to teach inmates the skills needed to run a business when released
from prison. The employment rate among PEP graduates exceeds 93% and
the recidivism rate is less than 5%. Both students and inmates emerge from this
experience immensely changed for the better. With a three-year success rate as
high as 95%, PEP is a global leader in prison rehabilitation. In 2013, Baylor
University determined that PEP delivers a 340% ROI for every dollar donated. Baylor Dr. Gary Carini will speak on this one-of-a-kind program followed by stories and testimonials of the graduates of the program. RegistrationPricing• Individual ($25*) Deadline11/04/2014 2:00 PM | ||
