The financial literacy rate in the United States has consistently come in around 50% over the last several years. This means only about half of the population has a firm grasp on things like budgeting, investing, debt management and savings. While it’s vital for everyone to have these skills, it’s especially important for participants in probation, parole, pretrial monitoring, and other court-ordered supervision programs.
Solid financial footing is the basis for nearly every indicator of post-release success – like finding stable housing, taking care of health and wellness needs, and rebuilding social relationships. That’s why Corrisoft partners with organizations like MaxxContent to provide tools participants can use to complete court-ordered services, strengthen court compliance, and carry the skills they learn throughout the rest of their lives.
What is MaxxLMS?
MaxxLMS is a learning management platform from MaxxContent that provides educational and skill-based courses from their exclusive Community Reentry Initiative. The courses are self-paced and accessible from any device with internet access. While participants work through their courses, administrators receive progress reports, ensuring everyone is on the same page. Once a course is finished, participants receive a completion certificate.
For agencies managing electronic monitoring programs, MaxxLMS provides a simple way to integrate education into supervision programs while maintaining accountability.
What financial literacy program does MaxxLMS offer?
From personal finances to entrepreneurship, there are several financial literacy courses for participants. Courses cover a wide range of topics, including setting goals and budgets, banking, credit, savings and investing. Outside of personal finances, there are courses for setting up a business and support for those going down the entrepreneurial path. In total, more than 100 hours of financial literacy courses are available.
All MaxxLMS content is easily digestible and reviewable. Even if a participant has completed a course, they can return to review the material at any time. Bonus – content is available in both English and Spanish, expanding the number of people who can utilize these tools in community supervision and pretrial support programs.
How does Corrisoft connect to MaxxLMS?
Like Corrisoft, MaxxLMS provides the tools participants need to chart their course toward successful program completion. Corrisoft’s apps and devices allow participants to practice skills in time management, accountability and communication, while MaxxLMS provides the education and additional skills that help participants after program completion.
Through Corrisoft AIR® smartphone monitoring tools, including AIR Mobile, AIR Verify, and AIR Check-In, participants can access education while remaining compliant with program requirements. These electronic monitoring and tracking methods help agencies support both accountability and rehabilitation.
Given how much access to education impacts participant outcomes, MaxxLMS is now preloaded on every Corrisoft AIR Mobile device. Even better – access to their complementary catalog, which includes courses on substance misuse and religious studies, is free to use.
We want to equip organizations and the individuals they serve with the tools needed for long-term positive outcomes. Whether you're a current customer looking to maximize your technology or an agency seeking to enhance pretrial services, court-ordered monitoring, or electronic monitoring programs, our team would love to talk with you.
