We All Thrive When Greater Cleveland Works

Imagine a Northeast Ohio where all people have quality jobs and careers with thriving employers. This is the vision of Greater Cleveland Works, the workforce development board of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. Workforce development boards are a crucial part of the workforce system—liaisons between federal and local governments that distribute public dollars to support job seekers and employers.

Yet, their work is opaque and misunderstood at best. They are more than job matchmakers—they are engines of opportunity and innovation, ensuring businesses have the skilled workers they need and communities have pathways to prosperity.

With new leadership, a new nonprofit structure, a new strategy, and a new brand, Greater Cleveland Works is reinventing its role — and wants you to better understand its work and the possibilities for collaboration.

Join Greater Cleveland Works CEO Michelle Rose as we dive into the critical role of this organization, the potential impact of federal funding instability, and why now—more than ever—we must advocate for the resources that build careers, strengthen industries, and future-proof our economy.
