This study was a preliminary investigation into the effectiveness of the Correctional Service of Canada National Employability Skills Program (NESP). The NESP is an institution-based program developed specifically to target employability skills, attitudes, and behaviours such as communication, problem solving, managing information, positive attitudes and behaviours, adaptability, and working with others. The study participants consisted of 29 male adult offenders from four federal institutions. The first objective of the study was to examine whether participation in the NESP produced a positive change in the targeted attitudes and beliefs related to employment and the workplace. The second objective of the study further examined whether participants developed their employability skills and knowledge. The third objective was to examine the degree of correspondence or agreement between participants' self-rated employability skills and their work supervisor evaluations of those skills. Overall, the NESP appears to have had a positive effect on the participants. The program successfully met its targets by increasing the non-specific generic employability skills, attitudes and behaviours of the NESP participants.
