Some of the advisees you might be working with will be ex-offenders who
have
taken the E 4 ME P course. This special designed E 4 ME course (E
4 ME P) is
only offered to incarcerated inmates within Ohio
correctional facilities. Those
who qualify to take the course have been
selected because they are non-violent
offenders and are taking the
course as their first step in establishing an
educational plan.
In most cases, you will not be able to tell if the learner you are
working
with is a graduate of the E 4 ME or E 4 ME P coures. One
distinction is
important to remember: those taking the E 4 ME P course
took the course in a
classroom with an instructor and did not have
Internet access.
As with all advisees, your primary means of communication should be
through
e-mail or an arranged phone conversation using your office
phone number. If a
face-to-face meeting is arranged, it must be in your
office. You should not
provide your home phone number or personal
e-mail address to any advisee.
Likewise, you should never arrange a
meeting with any advisee outside of your
office space.
If you
have any questions about working with an ex-offender, please contact
Lorraine Cimimillo or David Nell, both transition counslors working at
the
Community Connection, 675 W. Market Street, Lima, OH 45801.
