Major Activities

Activity 2

CDPS, Inc. has entered into a contractual/program relationship with the Cuyahoga County Land Reutilization Corp. (the Landbank) to clean, repair and renovate vacant/abandoned homes creating an on-the-job training platform. The concept is community revitalization by offering employment opportunities to local residents while rejuvenating neighborhoods. The participants complete a 30 day in-class series of workshops which emphasize personal management and responsibility as well as become OSHA Health and Safety certified for the jobsite. Upon completion of the certification, the on-the-job skills training begins. The on-the-job training continues for 3 to 6 months depending on the individual9s learning capabilities.

Activity 3

The Cleveland Foundation and the Cuyahoga County Office of Reentry, as part of a Social Enterprise Venture, awarded CDPS this grant to provide workforce and personal development training to ex-offenders in the following areas of construction trades, Home Renovation, Residential and Commercial Cleaning, Vacant Property Management, Landscape Maintenance and Repair, Entrepreneurship Advancement as well as Asbestos Abatement Certification. The purpose is to regenerate under used/abandoned human and physical resources by providing industry recognized transferable skills, experience, training, certifications and licensures to further become contributing members of society.
