Ohio City Power Builds Connectivity for Workforce Development

Jessica Montgomery (see photo above) traveled to Employment Connection offices this morning accompanied by Ohio City Power Founder & Executive Director Lisa Braun for a preliminary interview to participate in a week-long Career Advancement Skills Workshop, hosted by Employment Connection, 1020 Bolivar Road in Cleveland, Ohio.

The Employment Connection Career Advancement Skills Workshop is part of a collaborative partnership with Northeast Ohio regional employer Cleveland Clinic to hire skilled workers. Learn about the Career Advancement Skills (CAS) Workshop here.

Ohio City Power builds connectivity to both locally based community and large skills training and employment organizations to strengthen regional workforce development capacity.

Ohio City Power Programs Support and Affirm Community

Jessica is the second Ohio City Power Friend to enroll in the Career Advancement Skills Workshop. Jessica prepared for her visit by participating in One-On-One, an Ohio City Power program focused on resume building and strengthening interview skills.

One-On-One is hosted twice monthly at St. Paul's Community Outreach, 4427 Franklin Boulevard in Ohio City, Cleveland, OH 44113. Directions here. Visit the Ohio City Power Calendar here.

Ohio City Power Partners Contribute Leadership

One-On-One is lead by Don Hoke, a retired senior manager of the Lubrizol Corporation and member of Elderlife, a volunteer program based at The Federated Church, an Ohio City Power partner organization located in Chagrin Falls, Ohio.
