Catholic trade school forges ahead despite obstacles

A Catholic trade college plans to enroll students starting in fall of 2024, but said it continues to train people interested in learning craftsmanship while it works through the regulatory process and other hurdles.

The College of St. Joseph the Worker in Steubenville, Ohio is “shifting the start date back so that we can finish the state approval process,” Alex Renn, the school’s communications director, told The College Fix via email.

Renn said the process “has taken longer” than anticipated, “but it has been a very constructive process and it’s clear to all of us that they are advocating for student protection which makes the process absolutely worthwhile.”
