Cincinnati State Middletown to host session on employment and criminal records
 
The Ohio Justice and Policy Center, a non-profit legal aid organization, will be conducting a training session July 10 at Cincinnati State Middletown involving recent changes in state law designed to improve employment prospects for certain individuals who have a criminal record.
The program will run from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. in the main floor student center at 1 North Main Street, Middletown, Ohio, 45042.
The training session will focus on Ohio’s Certificate for Qualification of Employment (CQE) law, which involves filing with Common Pleas courts to, among other things, remove liability for prospective employers who hire an individual with a criminal record.
This event is provided at no charge. Organizers said it is designed for individuals working in the criminal justice system and social service organizations as well as the general public.
