• Career Development Programs
  Employment is an important prerequisite for rehabilitated offenders to reintegrate into society. The Social Welfare Bureau (IAS) is committed to expanding and improving the employment support services for ex-offenders and ensuring their successful employment. The career development programs include the Supportive Employer Network, Employment Placement Plan for Pre-release Prisoners, and Employment Placement Plan for Housed Juveniles.


• Virtual Job Hunting Program
  To help pre-release prisoners acquire information on job opportunities more conveniently, the IAS has launched the Virtual Job Hunting Program featuring video introductions of workplaces. By showing the actual work environments and duties of various posts, it helps pre-release prisoners choose their preferred jobs more easily and effectively.


• Correctional Courses for Rehabilitated Offenders
  Systematic correctional courses and activities are available according to the needs of the rehabilitated persons and the types of crimes committed. Courses including: personal growth, legal education, civic education, treatment courses, skills training, and participation in social services. These aim to raise offenders’ awareness of caring for the community and law abiding, establishing a positive lifestyle.
   


• Family Beyond the Wall Project
  A proactive family project, collaborating with Correction Services Bureau and YMCA, we provide family support for offenders once when they are sentenced to the prison or Youth Correction Institution. This year, this project was extended to Guangdong Province and Hong Kong, providing supportive services for Macao residents serving their sentences in the Greater Bay Area. We aim to help those families resolving problems in advance which benefits a better family reintegration for offenders.
