About
Robert McGeorge is a leading researcher at the intersection of correctional education, vocational rehabilitation, and emerging technology. His work focuses on developing and evaluating innovative interventions to improve employment outcomes for returning citizens—individuals re-entering society after incarceration. McGeorge’s most notable contribution is his pioneering use of virtual reality (VR) for job interview training within prison settings. He designed and is implementing a Type 1 hybrid randomized controlled trial protocol to rigorously assess the effectiveness of VR-based interview training as an enhancement to Michigan’s Vocational Villages—a skilled trades program that already integrates VR, robotics, and other technologies. This work, published in 2020, has garnered 17 citations and represents a critical step toward evidence-based reentry programming. By combining rigorous methodology with cutting-edge technology, McGeorge is helping to shape how correctional systems prepare individuals for community re-entry, addressing a pressing societal need with scalable, data-driven solutions. His research holds promise for reducing recidivism and improving economic mobility for a historically marginalized population.
