Available Classes:

Five Month Training Program-The commercial Urban Agriculture Training Program will help you to manage your own farming business, while allowing you to learn on-site; actually practicing the hands-on skills needed to profitably farm in the city. The course is a series of five weekend seminars, running January through May, and takes place at Rid-All’s training facilities in Cleveland, Ohio. The training facilities at Rid-All include greenhouses, training gardens, aquaponics systems, large-scale vermicomposting and composting, anaerobic digestion, and food distribution.

Weekend Workshops-Workshops are intensive, hands-on training offering diverse groups the opportunity to learn, plan, develop, operate, and sustain community food projects. Project participants leave the three-day workshops with improved skills that they can take back into their communities and pass on to others. These workshops are for both rural and urban projects.

Coming Soon** Ohio Apprenticeship Program – Learn the skills you need for a rewarding career while you earn a paycheck – all without racking up student loan debt by enrolling in an Apprentice Ohio program near you! Last year, about 65 percent of Ohio college graduates borrowed money for their education. Before even stepping foot into the workforce, the average graduate was strapped with $29,391 in student loan debt. What if you could earn the same amount per year as a college graduate without the student loan debt that goes along with it? That’s where ApprenticeOhio comes in! Ohio is investing in apprenticeships because business is booming in Ohio and employers can’t keep up with the demand for skilled workers. From manufacturing to medicine to computer technology, apprenticeships in Ohio cover a wider array of occupations than ever before.
