To Promote Growth & Opportunity for All
Everything we do is designed to increase both economic growth and access to opportunity for the people of Northeast Ohio—an approach we call Growth & Opportunity. This means we focus on systemic solutions that prioritize and integrate Job Creation, Job Preparation and Job Access strategies, with deliberate attention to reducing and eliminating race-based inequities in employment and income.
Strategies for Growth & Opportunity
Job Creation
Our research-backed approach to job creation focuses on growing the traded sector and supporting innovation so that we might reach our potential as a region.
Job Preparation
In supporting sector partnerships and high quality jobs, we can ensure Northeast Ohio’s workforce meets employer demand and earns a family-sustaining wage.
Job Access
Decades of outward migration have led to untenable commutes for residents. We must pursue a two-pronged approach of bringing jobs to people and people to jobs.
