Call for Teaching Artists Spring 2021 ArtWorks The Center for Arts-Inspired Learning’s ArtWorks is an arts-based job training and college readiness program for Northeast Ohio’s 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students. Teens from Cuyahoga County Schools are enrolled to train under the guidance of master teaching artists, who mentor them in an art form while teaching them 21st century skills. The apprenticeship experience allows students to develop time management, professional communication, problem solving, and critical thinking skills, which are transferable to any workplace or college. Apprentices also participate in workshops that focus on financial literacy, resume writing, financial aid applications, and interview skills. COVID-19 Plans + Protocols For 2021, due to COVID-19 restrictions, CAL's ArtWorks will operate in-person in small groups of no more than 10 under strict health and safety protocols determined by the Ohio Department of Health.
