Relationships Strengthen Collaboration

Lisa Braun, Founder & Executive Director, Ohio City Power, and Erik Hayes, a Cleveland job seeker, record a conversation for viewers about Ohio City Power's One-On-One program - a program that seeks to build relationships with Ohio City's homeless and jobless to identify employment qualifications, strengthen interview skills, and build resumes.

Partnerships Strengthen Community Employment Capacity 

In the video below, Lisa Braun talks in more detail about the partnership pipeline Ohio City Power, Employment Connection, and the Cleveland Clinic is developing to connect Ohio City homeless and jobless to skills assessment and training for employment opportunities with the Cleveland Clinic. 

Erik, participant in the One-On-One program, describes his experience at the Employment Connection four-day Career Advancement Skills Workshop and what he understands his next steps to be.
