Expanding Success in Corrections Training
In a groundbreaking move to enhance training for corrections officers nationwide, ViaPath Technologies has announced a significant expansion of its partnership with CypherWorx.

The eLearning content developed through this partnership addresses several crucial areas, ensuring that corrections officers are well-prepared to handle the complexities of their roles. The training will cover the following important topics:
- - Legal foundations and incarcerated individuals' rights

- - Inmate supervision and classification
- - Emergency response and crisis management strategies
- - Effective communication and report writing skills
- - Health and safety protocols, including first aid and suicide prevention techniques
