Overview

The Ohio Reformatory for Women (ORW) is pleased to announce that the Clearview School offers Construction Building Trades through a Youthful Offenders Apprenticeship Program Grant.  Students enrolled will participate in job skills training and personal development classes with one of three sub grantee agencies provided under the grant (Cincinnati Urban League, Hard Hatted women and Youth Build).  During these classes, employment skills training, resume writing and other workshops enhance the apprenticeship experience.  This connection is a key factor in building marketable skills and establishing positive relationships with job counselors, case managers and other service providers to make reentry a smooth transition.
