Download or read book From Here to the Streets written by Joseph L. Chiappetta Jr. and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The corrections employee who inspired me to design this book knew what most of you reading this already know that the only hope that more than 90 percent of incarcerated inmates nationwide have for not returning to prison is steady employment. There are numerous books on this subject already, and most of them say the same things. It's also fair to say that most are accurate. This course doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, so to speak, but instead gives a step-by-step guide for preparing and facilitating a prerelease employability class in a corrections environment. Prison inmates are, for the most part, challenged with a wide variety of social dysfunctions. Educational backgrounds vary as well. It is critical to make the prerelease employability class both user-friendly and student specific for the challenges presented by the prison itself. Ultimately, it's up to an individual whether or not he or she chooses to succeed or improve the quality of their life. The key is to make this goal in life attainable and realistic to the students, thus encouraging them to make that choice. Remember that even the best plans in the world are nothing without good people to carry them out. If you're planning to teach or assist in a corrections prerelease employability course, you must understand and believe in its benefits. Not only believe, but also participate by sharing your own personal experiences and opinions to the extent that policy allows. Only by interacting with the class on a more personal level will you get the respect and trust of your students. By operating in this capacity, you become as important an asset to the course as the written material itself. The results of your efforts will be reflected in the future success stories from your students.

Download or read book What Lenders Don t Want You to Know written by Kevin M. Melody and published by . This book was released on 2001-06-17 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you seek information that will help save you money on a mortgage transaction, you've found it Kevin Melody spells out trade secrets of the mortgage industry from an insider's perspective, with frank honesty and in plain English. He shows how most borrowers shop for mortgages like they shop for cars: they find the product they want, at a price they believe is fair, then they strike a deal. Unfortunately, unlike a car purchase, a mortgage transaction will not close on the day the "deal" is made. Therefore, unless the borrower is sophisticated enough to know how to make it stick, he really has no deal at all. He has committed himself to the lender, but the commitment may not be mutual. In fact, the rates, costs, even the product itself may change later; at a time when the borrower has, not only an emotional stake in proceeding with the transaction, but also a financial one; and is therefore unlikely to cancel. Whether you're a first-time buyer, or a property owner with many mortgage transactions under his belt, you will save time, money, and frustration by reading this book.
