Before Launching Edovo: Preparing Your Staff

Launching Edovo in your facility means that you now provide tens of thousands of hours of educational, vocational and self-improvement programming to your population. There are a few key groups to share this information with:
  1. Administrative Staff
  2. Program Staff
  3. Front Line Staff
This article provides you with sample scripts that you can use to send to your staff to tell them a bit about Edovo and what will be offered on the application. 

The Administrative Staff
The following email script can be used and edited to share this information with the administrators at your facility.

Dear staff: 

In the coming weeks, we will be deploying Edovo on the tablets available to our incarcerated population. Edovo is an application that provides educational, vocational and rehabilitative curriculums and content specifically built for corrections. The application is free to the population and fosters an environment dedicated to lowering recidivism, increasing safety inside and outside correctional walls and driving more positive outcomes for incarcerated people – all goals of our institution.

Offering Edovo to our incarcerated population means that we are delivering: 
  • Over 25k hours of academic, self-improvement and vocational programming 
  • Content from some of the most reputable providers in the space: MasterClass, Google, Shining Light, LinkedIn, Prison Fellowship, the Lionheart Foundation, Prison Professors and more
  • Tools to allow us to digitally monitor, engage and track Learner progress

Edovo provides free virtual trainings each week. We encourage your to sign up here. To help you get started, I've attached resources showcasing Edovo's value and a step-by-step onboarding guide.
