Ex-offenders and EmploymentEx-offenders and Employment

Reentry into the labor market is one of the most challenging situations an ex-offender faces when returning to the community.

To assist individuals in finding a job, Oriana House provides employment services including a job skills training program. Employment services may be available to Oriana House clients as well as ex-offenders in Summit and Cuyahoga counties.
