Our next free Certificate of Qualification for Employment (CQE) clinic is Saturday, January 19, 2019!  We’re very excited to be providing opportunities for ex-offenders in Summit County to take a step toward gaining employment and independence!

 

We are looking for students to volunteer from approximately 8-12pm on Saturday, January 19, 2019. The clinic will be held at the Ohio Means Jobs, 1040 E Tallmadge Ave Akron, OH 44310. The time you volunteer can be applied toward your graduation requirement as pro bono limited means hours.

 

There will be a mandatory volunteer training on Thursday, January 17th, from 5:00pm-6:30pm for first timers. Location of the training will be announced next week. The time you are at training will count towards your pro bono limited means hours as well. For those who have completed the training once before, you are more than welcome to attend the training for a refresher. However, you may not count the training towards your pro bono limited means hours again.

 

If you’re interested in volunteering or have any questions, please e-mail Janelle at  jmw376@zips.uakron.edu.  You can also learn more about the clinic at our website: https://www.uakron.edu/law/curriculum/reentry.dot
