Direct Line Careers Launches in Hamilton County | Cincinnati News

Hamilton County Juvenile Court just launched Direct Line Careers — a bold new program designed to turn the tide for teens aged 14-17 already tangled in the court system. Instead of just punishment, it offers a three-step path: Spark (explore options), Build (gain skills and mentors), and Launch (step into work or school). From construction to health sciences, vocational training to college prep — success isn’t defined by a four-year degree here. It runs alongside court cases, not as a replacement, but as a parallel lifeline for non-detained youth. The court is even footing some costs like application fees and ACT prep, while forging partnerships with schools, trade groups, and mentors to connect kids with real-world opportunities. This isn’t about guarantees — it’s about breaking down barriers and building bridges to a brighter future, one career at a time.
