Today, American Prison Data Systems (APDS), announces a major renaming effort to become Orijin™. Like APDS, Orijin’s mission is to prepare every justice-impacted individual for sustainable employment. Orijin provides motivational curriculum, assessments for personalized pathways, standards-aligned and evidence-based content, coupled with data for learners to attain enduring skills and become career-ready while incarcerated through secure, turn-key tablet computers. The new name Orijin has special meaning and impact: ✔️APDS/Orijin is the ORIGINal Ed Tech company with individualized pathways and robust outcomes. ✔️Orijin helps transform correctional facilities into outcome-focused educational facilities and empowers the justice-impacted to rewrite their life stories. ✔️Speaking of justice-impacted individuals, the founder and CEO wanted a unique way to relate to the justice community, hence the new spelling of origin, but with the letters “ji” for “justice-impacted.” Orijin was created around the following three priorities: 🔵Diversity, represented by the three different colored dots within our new logo and all types of learners and their needs, plus 🔵Working directly with the justice-impacted community, so they can rebuild their lives. 🔵Re-telling one’s story - making it an Orijin story. https://orijin.works/ #Orijin #Story #incarcerated #education #highereducation #EqualEducation #2ndChancestAtWork #JusticeReform #SocialJustice #OrijinEducation #OrijinEducationFacilities #MakeTodayAnOrijinStory

Learn from Dr. Carol D'Amico , an APDS Ambassador, she believes in - “an Education First Approach for Justice-Impacted individuals…Education gives the 600,000 people released from correctional facilities each year a second chance.” Thank you Carol D'Amico - https://lnkd.in/deehj2nN
