Cleveland Builds

Exciting times, on an exciting project! B #ClevelandBuilds

👏 Big props to Greater Cleveland Works, Michelle Rose and our own Keith Laschinger for leading efforts to remove barriers and open doors to good careers in the trades. This story from Signal Cleveland shows how even a small investment — like $289 in childcare support — can make the difference between struggle and opportunity. We’re proud to see partners across the region working together to ensure Clevelanders can access life-changing careers. https://lnkd.in/gKDm9fSJ

A great reminder of the impact of our work we do in partnership with so many, including Manuel Gutierrez and the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 18. The woman who sent us this beautiful note clicked on the link to clevelandbuilds.com, took full advantage of our Apprenticeship-Readiness Program, and her life has been changed by beginning a career as an Apprentice with the Operating Engineers. #IndustryLed #WorkerCentered

As Cleveland’s skyline rises, so must the opportunities for those who build it. In this powerful piece, our board member, Kenny Torres shares how construction careers—and inclusive training programs—can shape a stronger, more equitable future for our city. https://lnkd.in/gAqNRG3m

Michelle Rose did a great job at the The City Club of Cleveland highlighting the work she and her team are doing to transform Greater Cleveland Works and put it on a path to reach its full potential. I was proud to be seated at "Table 11" for the speech! I love that she included three examples - Courtney, Xavier, and Whitney - of individuals who have worked with Built Environment Collaborative partners such as Cleveland Builds and Towards Employment to begin well-paying and meaningful careers as a Union Iron Worker, a Union Electrician, and a Union Carpenter. These individuals are demonstrating the impact that comes from intentional outreach to and support of Cleveland residents, young people, women, people of color, and justice-impacted workers. Courtney's, Xavier's, and Whitney's respective unions are better because they are members. Contractors such as Forest City Erectors Inc, Gateway Electric, and Turner Construction Company are better because of these workers. Work sites such as Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute are better because of these workers. Our City and region are better because of these workers and residents.
