Four people in a row. One is holding a certificate.

Rosario Briganit completed an internship with the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services.

“I really enjoy the role of a corrections officer,” Rosario said. “The job allows me to develop skills and test who I am as an officer.” Rosario went on to explain that through job training he has learned to de-escalate difficult situations by utilizing communication techniques. “In this position, it’s really important to know when to be tough and when it’s more appropriate to show some leniency. Finding the right balance is an art form, and an experienced corrections officer learns to trust his gut,” he explained.
