Correctional Officer Achievement Program

Unique in the nation, the Correctional Officer Achievement Program (COACH) is a comprehensive year-long, structured on-the-job training program for new Correctional Officers.

In COACH, new officers continue to build on the skills and knowledge they learned in the Correctional Worker Core Academy (CORE). With the supervision and coaching of Correctional Sergeants and Job Coaches, new officers gain competency and fluency in the core skills needed to perform duties of a Correctional Officer.

In addition, officers earn 30 college credits, which may be applied towards a one-year Correctional Specialist certificate or an Associate of Applied Science degree offered through DOC's partnership with Peninsula College.
