Creating a better workforce system together
Greater Cleveland Works partners with service and training providers, employers, education institutions, nonprofits, economic development organizations, and government agencies to ensure Greater Cleveland thrives. We partner with first-rate organizations to help deliver services and also collaborate on efforts that improve job quality, reduce racial disparities, and advance our region’s economic competitiveness.

Who We Work With
Training Partners
We are proud to partner with a network of local training providers who provide high-quality services to job seekers and work with employers in supporting their new and incumbent worker training needs. Applications to become an approved training provider were accepted through April 30, 2025. The application period will re-open in the spring of 2026.
OhioMeansJobs | Cuyahoga County Center Partners
We encourage nonprofit organizations to consider establishing offices or outposts in the OhioMeansJobs | Cuyahoga County building at 1910 Carnegie Avenue in Cleveland, where you’ll have access to thousands of job seekers who walk through our doors each year.
Preferred Employer Partners
At Greater Cleveland Works, we partner with employers committed to supporting quality jobs that include upskilling and career advancement opportunities. Our preferred employer partners use us as their go-to resource for all hiring, training and retention needs.
Funding & Innovation Partners
Greater Cleveland Works is committed to a better workforce system for all. We take a data-driven approach to pushing for and developing initiatives and practices that lead to improved outcomes for all people, most especially those who have been affected by systemic racial injustice. We seek to work with partners who wish to pilot new initiatives and/or bring tested and proven innovations to Cuyahoga County.
