The NCCF Print, Sewing and Digital Sign Vocational Shops are cooperative programs run in conjunction with LA Works. There are 5 LA Works school teachers assigned to the 3 programs. They work alongside civilian and sworn department personnel to train up to 200 assigned inmates as they produce the many necessary items used by the Sheriff's Department and other County Departments.
The 19,000 square foot commercial-based print shop is located in the NCCF vocational building. Students are taught basic and advanced printing application using state-of-the-art printing equipment. The Print Shop trains inmates while producing forms, manuals, booklets, books, flyers, brochures, tickets, invitations, magazines and printed envelopes.
The shops offer several benefits to both inmates and the department. Inmates in these vocational programs are housed together and receive hands-on training in various specialties that can lead to school issued certificates for each module they complete. The individual jobs they complete during training are in-house jobs required to be performed to meet existing needs within the county, resulting in cost savings for the department.
