Adult Literacy & Education
Our adult literacy and education programs, in partnership with Ohio Department of Education ASPIRE, provide you with the language, reading, and math skills needed to earn a high school equivalency certificate, enter college, or obtain a job.
STARs
- The Guild is committed to cultivating a workforce of individuals Skilled Through Alternative Routes (STARs), which amounts to fifty percent of the U.S. workforce. This massive pool of talent is often overlooked by employers. By building this workforce up, the Guild facilitates individual mobility and community growth.
- STARs deserve to craft their own career and build self-efficacy and the WRA is the catalyst to make it happen.
