	BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT:THE BUSINESS GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT TEAM WORKS WITH AREA BUSINESSES TO HELP THEM GROW AND THRIVE IN OUR REGION BY CONNECTING THEM TO THE RESOURCES OFFERED BY THE GCP AND TO THE LARGER NETWORK OF LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND STATE PARTNERS. A FEW NOTABLE PROJECTS THE BUSINESS GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT TEAM TOUCHED IN 2018 INCLUDE:OPPORTUNITY CORRIDOR: A $330-MILLION TRANSPORTATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECT ENTERED ITS FINAL AND MOST COMPREHENSIVE STAGE IN 2018 AS THE DESIGN AND EARLY CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES COMMENCED ON THE BOULEVARD'S FINAL PHASE. SECTION 3 OF THE PROJECT WILL CONSTRUCT THE FINAL 1.8 MILES OF NEW ROADWAY, FOUR NEW BRIDGES, TWO NEW PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES, SIX SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS, NEW WATER MAINS, NEW MAJOR SANITARY AND STORM SEWERS, SIDEWALKS AND A SHARED-USE PATH. THE 3-MILE BOULEVARD IS EXPECTED TO OPEN TO TRAFFIC BY THE END OF 2021, CONNECTING E. 105TH STREET IN UNIVERSITY CIRCLE TO THE REGIONAL INTERSTATE SYSTEM AT E. 55TH STREET AND I-490. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE OPPORTUNITY CORRIDOR WILL SERVE AS A CATALYST FOR JOB CREATION AND COMMUNITY INVESTMENT BY PROVIDING ENHANCED ACCESS TO KEY EMPLOYMENT CENTERS AND CREATING THE FOUNDATION FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF SEVERAL HUNDRED ACRES OF UNDERUTILIZED LAND. THE GCP WAS AN EARLY ADVOCATE FOR THE PROJECT AND HAS CONTINUED TO SUPPORT THE EFFORTS OF NUMEROUS PARTNERS AND ENSURED THE PROJECT DELIVERS ON THE DESIRED ECONOMIC BENEFITS.IRISHTOWN BEND: THROUGH ITS ADVOCACY EFFORTS AND CIVIC CONNECTION PROGRAM ACTIVITY, THE GCP AND ITS PARTNERS ARE WORKING TOGETHER WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO MITIGATE THE POTENTIAL COLLAPSE OF IRISHTOWN BEND ON THE CITY'S NEAR WEST SIDE. WITHOUT PROPER INTERVENTION, THE HILLSIDE PROPERTY COULD SLIDE INTO THE CUYAHOGA RIVER SHIPPING CHANNEL AND DISRUPT - OR CLOSE - SHIP TRAFFIC VITAL TO KEY CLEVELAND INDUSTRIES. THE ESTIMATED $30 TO $45 MILLION STABILIZATION EFFORT WILL SHORE-UP THE SLOPE AND REPLACE 1,400 FEET OF BULKHEADS ALONG THE RIVER WHILE PROVIDING THE FOUNDATION FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE HILLSIDE INTO A 23-ACRE RIVERFRONT PARK THAT WILL SERVE AS BOTH A NEIGHBORHOOD AND REGIONAL ASSET.

	PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT:RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF STRATEGIC COLLABORATION AMONG PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, THE GREATER CLEVELAND PARTNERSHIP CONCENTRATES SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES TOWARD REINVESTMENT IN GREATER CLEVELAND AND NORTHEAST OHIO. IN 2018, THIS WAS BEST ILLUSTRATED BY: - DELIVERING ON GCP'S CORE MISSION AND ALIGNING WITH ITS PUBLIC POLICY AGENDA TO ADVANCE ECONOMIC VITALITY OF GREATER CLEVELAND AND NORTHEAST OHIO - SUPPORTING CIVIC LEADERSHIP BY ASSISTING WITH THE CREATION OF STRATEGIES TOWARD THE REVITALIZATION OF THE REGION - BEING DEDICATED TO DRIVE THE RESURGENCE OF AND REINVESTMENT IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF CLEVELAND AND ITS SURROUNDING SUBURBS - LEVERAGING DEVELOPMENT OF MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS - PROMOTING INNOVATIVE PUBLIC POLICY AND SUSTAINED INVESTMENT EFFORTS THAT CONTRIBUTE TOWARD THE REVITALIZATION OF CLEVELAND AND THE REGION.IN ADDITION, TARGETED PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT IS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THE GREATER CLEVELAND PARTNERSHIP'S STRATEGY. THE GCP WORKS WITH ITS REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT AFFILIATE, CLEVELAND DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS (CDA), AND ITS EXTERNAL PARTNERS TO LEVERAGE AND CONNECT EXISTING ASSETS AND CREATE NEW CATALYTIC PROJECTS THAT STIMULATE FURTHER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. OUR GOALS INCLUDE LEVERAGING CLEVELAND'S MAJOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ASSETS TO CREATE AN INCLUSIVE CITY WITH A COMPETITIVE HOUSING MARKET DOWNTOWN AND IN CITY NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WILL ATTRACT ECONOMICALLY DIVERSE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES. THROUGH 2018, CLEVELAND DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS (CDA) HAS INVESTED OVER $445 MILLION IN MORE THAN 135 PROJECTS ACROSS GREATER CLEVELAND IN ITS 30-YEAR HISTORY, GENERATING $3.8 BILLION OF TOTAL DEVELOPMENT. LASTLY, THE ECONOMIC STRENGTH OF A REGION IS RELIANT UPON STRONG PARTNERSHIPS. PRIVATE ENTERPRISE REQUIRES DEPENDABLE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS TO THRIVE AND GROW. PUBLIC STEWARDS MUST UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS AND CHALLENGES OF THE BUSINESS SECTOR TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY SUPPORT ECONOMIC GROWTH AND JOB CREATION. THIS SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP REQUIRES OPEN, HONEST COMMUNICATION AND A CULTURE OF TRUST TO PRODUCE THE POSITIVE IMPACT BOTH SECTORS STRIVE TO CREATE. THE GREATER CLEVELAND CIVIC CONNECTION SERVES AS A FORUM FOR PUBLIC- AND PRIVATE-SECTOR LEADERSHIP TO ENGAGE AND COLLABORATE ON PROJECTS AND ISSUES OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE TO THE ECONOMIC CLIMATE OF NORTHEAST OHIO. GREATER CLEVELAND CIVIC CONNECTION LEVERAGES THE STRENGTH OF THE REGION'S BUSINESS COMMUNITY THROUGH THE GCP AND PROVIDES DIRECT INTERACTION WITH PUBLIC-SECTOR LEADERSHIP TO HELP IDENTIFY CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS, ARTICULATE THE CHALLENGES, AND WORK TOWARD A SOLUTION THAT BENEFITS NORTHEAST OHIO'S ECONOMIC WELL-BEING.

	MEMBER PROGRAMMING:FOR ALMOST A HALF CENTURY, THE COUNCIL OF SMALLER ENTERPRISES (COSE) PROGRAM HAS BEEN SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH SMALL BUSINESSES ACROSS NORTHEAST OHIO, PROVIDING THE RESOURCES, CONNECTIONS AND SUPPORT ENTREPRENEURS NEED TO GROW THEIR BUSINESSES. THAT MISSION CONTINUED IN 2018 AS COSE FOCUSED ON DELIVERING VALUE THROUGH PROGRAMS, BENEFITS AND SERVICES SPECIFICALLY TAILORED TO THE NEEDS AND INTERESTS OF SMALL BUSINESSES.CREATING CONNECTIONS: CONNECTING BUSINESS OWNERS TO ONE ANOTHER HAS ALWAYS BEEN A KEY PIECE OF COSE'S DNA. THROUGH THE BUSINESS BOOTCAMP SERIES, COSE CONNECTED MEMBERS TO EXPERTS WHO OFFERED SMALL BUSINESSES THE COACHING THEY NEED TO GROW THEIR BUSINESSES. MEMBER MEET-UPS WERE HOSTED ACROSS THE GCP'S EIGHT-COUNTY FOOTPRINT TO BRING MEMBERS TOGETHER IN THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS AND COSE CONTINUED TO BE A KEY PARTNER IN THE BUSINESS GROWTH COLLABORATIVE - A NETWORK OF 11 ENTREPRENEURIAL SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS FOCUSED ON HELPING BUSINESS OWNERS ACCESS THE OPPORTUNITIES AND SOLUTIONS THAT WILL HELP THEIR BUSINESSES FLOURISH.CONVENING LEADERSHIP: WITH A GOAL OF FOSTERING PRIVATE-SECTOR GROWTH, OHTEC LAUNCHED ITS CIO FORUM IN 2018. THE FORUM PROVIDES A VOICE FOR THE TECH COMMUNITY AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LEADERS TO GATHER REGULARLY TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES. THESE FORUMS ARE A WAY FOR NORTHEAST OHIO TO FURTHER BRAND ITSELF AS A TECH HUB AND HIGHLIGHT CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN THE INDUSTRY.CELEBRATING TECH: IN PARTNERSHIP WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER TECHNOLOGY GROUPS IN NORTHEAST OHIO, OHTEC AGAIN WAS THE LEAD IN TECH WEEK 2018. TECH WEEK IS THE REGION'S ANNUAL INITIATIVE TO ENGAGE THE LOCAL TECH COMMUNITY THROUGH A WEEK-LONG SERIES OF NETWORKING AND EDUCATIONAL EVENTS. AS ALWAYS, THE WEEK WAS HIGHLIGHTED BY OHTEC'S 2018 BEST OF TECH AWARDS, WHICH ANNUALLY RECOGNIZES PROFESSIONALS AND COMPANIES FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE LOCAL TECH COMMUNITY.MEMBERSHIP: WITH MORE THAN 12,000 MEMBERS - RANGING FROM GLOBAL FORTUNE 1000 CORPORATIONS TO MIDDLE-MARKET COMPANIES TO ENTREPRENEURS ACROSS GREATER CLEVELAND - THE GCP IS THE BIGGEST METROPOLITAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN THE COUNTRY. SPARKING CONNECTIONS: THE GCP HAS BUILT AND GROWN ITS MIDDLE-MARKET INITIATIVE TO ENCOMPASS A WIDE RANGE OF PROGRAMMING, CONTENT AND INFORMATION SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED WITH THE NEEDS AND INTERESTS OF MIDDLE MARKET COMPANIES IN MIND. FOR INSTANCE, DURING 2018 THE GCP'S QUARTERLY MIDDLE MARKET FORUM SERIES OFFERED IN-DEPTH DISCUSSIONS ON TOPICS SUCH AS HOW OPPORTUNITY ZONES ARE REDEFINING CLEVELAND; HOW CLEVELAND COULD BECOME A BLOCKCHAIN LEADER AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR BUSINESS INTERESTS HERE; A PRESENTATION BY THE COMMISSIONER OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION; AS WELL AS DEEP DIVES INTO OTHER NEED-TO-KNOW TOPICS FOR MIDDLE MARKET LEADERS INCLUDING WORKFORCE AND INSIGHTS INTO THE CURRENT TAX ENVIRONMENT.RESOURCE HUB: THE GCP'S MIDDLE MARKET KNOWLEDGE CENTER UNITES MIDDLE-MARKET LEADERSHIP WITH NATIONAL TRENDS AND THE REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENDA AND SERVES AS A STARTING POINT FOR COMPANY OFFICIALS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THAT SUPPORT THIS DYNAMIC SEGMENT OF THE ECONOMY.

	ADVOCACY:THE ADVOCACY TEAM PROMOTES THE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES OF THE REGION ON BEHALF OF OUR MEMBERS TO LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL DECISION MAKERS. BELOW ARE JUST SOME OF THE SUCCESSES THIS TEAM ACHIEVED IN 2018:CUYAHOGA COUNTY INDUSTRY SECTOR PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE: GCP SUPPORTED THE PASSAGE OF LEGISLATION THAT WOULD PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE CREATION OF INDUSTRY SECTOR PARTNERSHIPS IN MANUFACTURING, HEALTHCARE, AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. THIS LEGISLATION IS AN OUTGROWTH OF A PUBLIC-PRIVATE COLLABORATIVE OF WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT FUNDERS, INCLUDING GCP, WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY FOR INDUSTRY SECTOR PARTNERSHIPS IN NORTHEAST OHIO. THIS WORK IS A DIRECT OUTGROWTH OF GCP'S STRATEGIC PLAN, FORWARD CLE.RTA OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENT TASKFORCE: WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE GCP BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS COUNCIL, THE GCP LAUNCHED AN OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENT TASKFORCE WITH THE GREATER CLEVELAND REGIONAL TRANSIT AUTHORITY (GCRTA) TO EXPLORE WAYS IN WHICH THE TRANSIT SYSTEM COULD IMPROVE OPERATIONS, REDUCE COSTS, AND MAXIMIZE REVENUE. ULTIMATELY, THIS WORK WILL SUPPORT GCRTA IN DEVELOPING A NEW VISION FOR PUBLIC TRANSIT IN GREATER CLEVELAND THAT IS RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS OF CURRENT AND FUTURE RIDERS AND MAJOR EMPLOYERS.STATE CAPITAL BILL: THIRTEEN OF THE 15 PROJECTS ON GCP'S RECOMMENDED STATE CAPITAL BILL LIST RECEIVED FUNDING SUPPORT IN THE 2017-18 CAPITAL BILL PROCESS. PLACES WITH IMPACT, A KEY TENANT OF FORWARD CLE, WAS A MAJOR THEME FOR GCP'S RECOMMENDED PROJECTS AS THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO LAKE ERIE AND THE CUYAHOGA RIVER, DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT, AND TRANSFORMATIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECTS. THE LEAD PROJECT THAT RECEIVED SUPPORT WAS PHASE II OF RESTORING IRISHTOWN BEND, WHICH WILL PROVIDE CONTINUED INVESTMENT TO STABILIZE THE BULKHEADS ALONG THE CUYAHOGA RIVER.OPPORTUNITY ZONES: THE 2017 TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT INCLUDED A PROVISION THAT CREATED THE OPPORTUNITY ZONE PROGRAM. THIS FEDERAL PROGRAM ALLOWS INVESTORS TO DEFER CAPITAL GAINS FROM THE SALE OR EXCHANGE OF PROPERTY BY INVESTING THE PROCEEDS IN AN OPPORTUNITY FUND. THE FUND WOULD INVEST THESE ASSETS IN BUSINESSES WITHIN AN OPPORTUNITY ZONE, WHICH ARE QUALIFYING CENSUS TRACTS THAT HAVE, AMONG OTHER CRITERIA, A POVERTY RATE OF AT LEAST 20%. GIVEN GCP'S EXPERTISE AND LEADERSHIP IN THE NEW MARKET TAX CREDIT PROGRAM, THE ORGANIZATION PLAYED A LEADING ROLE IN CONVENING PARTNERS, GAINING CONSENSUS, AND RECOMMENDING OPPORTUNITY ZONES IN CUYAHOGA COUNTY TO THE GOVERNOR.CYBERSECURITY SAFE HARBOR: GCP HELPED CRAFT LEGISLATION - THE DATA PROTECTION ACT - THAT EFFECTIVELY BECAME LAW IN NOVEMBER, PROVIDING A LEGAL SAFE HARBOR TO COVERED ENTITIES THAT IMPLEMENT A SPECIFIED CYBERSECURITY PROGRAM. THE PURPOSE IS TO CREATE AN AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE RELATED TO A DATA BREACH AND IT WOULD APPLY TO ALL BUSINESSES THAT INCLUDE AND COMPLY WITH CERTAIN CYBERSECURITY FRAMEWORKS. GCP STRONGLY SUPPORTED THE OPPORTUNITY FOR COVERED ENTITIES THAT IMPLEMENT A SPECIFIED CYBERSECURITY PROGRAM BECAUSE THE LEGISLATION PROVIDES AN INCENTIVE TO ENCOURAGE BUSINESSES TO ACHIEVE A HIGHER LEVEL OF CYBERSECURITY THROUGH VOLUNTARY ACTION.OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE REVIEW: SB 255 NOW REQUIRES THE LEGISLATURE TO REVIEW OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING BOARDS REGARDING THEIR SUNSET AND THE NON-PARTISAN LEGISLATIVE SERVICE COMMISSION MAY PERFORM ASSESSMENTS OF OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING BILLS AND STATE REGULATION OF OCCUPATIONS. LICENSING IN OHIO HAS RESULTED IN BUSINESSPEOPLE SPENDING HUNDREDS, IN SOME CASES, THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO EARN A LICENSE TO BEGIN THEIR CAREER. THIS CAN BE DAMAGING - PARTICULARLY FOR SMALL BUSINESSES - FOR ENTRY INTO THE MARKET AND COMPETITION. AFTER CAREFUL DUE DILIGENCE AND MEETINGS WITH THE BILL SPONSOR AND UPON PRESENTING THIS LEGISLATION TO OUR MEMBERS, GCP SUPPORTED THIS EFFORT. GCP OFFERED PROPONENT TESTIMONY, THE BILL PASSED THE LEGISLATURE, AND WAS SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR.GCP COMPREHENSIVE TAX ANALYSIS: GCP'S STRATEGIC PLAN, FORWARD CLE, CALLS FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF GREATER CLEVELAND'S TAX ENVIRONMENT AND ITS EFFECT ON GROWTH AND COMPETITIVENESS. AS A RESULT, GCP CONDUCTED A COMPREHENSIVE TAX ANALYSIS COMPARING OUR REGION TO SIMILAR MARKETS IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THE INITIAL DATA RETRIEVED SUGGESTS CLEVELAND'S PER CAPITA STATE AND LOCAL TAX BURDEN EXCEEDS THE AVERAGE BURDEN LEVIED ON COMPARABLE CITIES IN OUR REGION. FEEDBACK FROM OUR MEMBERS WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE KEY PART OF OUR DECISION-MAKING, AS GCP USES THE DATA COMPILED IN THE TAX STUDY TO ANALYZE SPECIFIC PROPOSALS WHEN AN INSTITUTION OR CAMPAIGN IS SEEKING GCP'S ENDORSEMENT OF A SPECIFIC ISSUE.GCP PUBLIC POLICY AGENDA: AFTER MONTHS OF DEVELOPMENT WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD AND STAFF LEADERSHIP, GCP UNVEILED ITS 2019-2020 PUBLIC POLICY AGENDA. THE AGENDA PRESENTED A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF PUBLIC POLICY PRIORITIES ON BEHALF OF SMALL, MID-MARKET AND LARGE COMPANIES IN NORTHEAST OHIO.CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING: LAST SPRING, THE GCP BOARD OFFERED FORMAL SUPPORT FOR STATEWIDE ISSUE 1, WHICH CREATES A MORE BI-PARTISAN, PUBLIC PROCESS FOR DRAWING U.S. CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. VOTERS OVERWHELMINGLY PASSED THE MEASURE. ISSUE 1 OFFERS RULES LIMITING THE EXTENT TO WHICH COUNTIES, MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS, AND TOWNSHIPS CAN BE SPLIT BETWEEN DISTRICTS; THE CITY OF CLEVELAND IS TO REMAIN WHOLE WITHIN ITS DISTRICT.COUNTY HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES: GCP SUPPORTED A TWO-YEAR RENEWAL OF THE CUYAHOGA COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES (HHS) LEVY. THE HHS LEVIES PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN ENSURING THERE IS A SOCIAL SAFETY NET FOR CHILDREN, INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN NEED. WHILE THE PASSAGE OF ISSUE 9 DID NOT REPRESENT A TAX INCREASE, GCP LEADERSHIP WILL CONTINUE TO ACTIVELY WORK WITH CUYAHOGA COUNTY TO DETERMINE THE STRUCTURE OF HHS LEVIES GOING FORWARD.

	WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT & EDUCATION:THE GCP IS COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH OUR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTNERS TO ENSURE NORTHEAST OHIO CREATES, ATTRACTS AND RETAINS A 21ST CENTURY WORKFORCE. BELOW ARE FIVE OF THE WAYS THE GCP ACCOMPLISHED THIS MISSION IN 2018:NEW RESOURCE HUB: THE NEW GCP INTERNSHIP CENTRAL WEBSITE, WWW.GCPINTERN.COM, LAUNCHED IN 2018, PROVIDES VALUABLE ACCESS TO INTERNSHIP RESOURCES SUCH AS HOW TO START AND GROW INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS, CONNECTIONS TO COMMUNITY INTERNSHIP RESOURCES, INFORMATION ABOUT IN-DEMAND INDUSTRIES, CONTENT FROM PAST CLEVELAND INTERNSHIP SUMMITS, AND MORE.RESUME READY: A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ACADEMIES OF CLEVELAND - FIVE CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION HIGH SCHOOLS WITHIN THE CLEVELAND METROPOLITAN SCHOOL DISTRICT - CREATED A THREE-PART RESUME WORKSHOP AND MOCK INTERVIEW LEARNING SERIES DESIGNED TO CONNECT 11TH GRADE STUDENTS WITH LOCAL BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS TO HELP THE STUDENTS DESIGN IMPACTFUL RESUMES. THE SERIES CULMINATED WITH STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN MOCK INTERVIEWS WITH BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS AND PRESENTING THEIR NEWLY CREATED RESUMES.MENTORING CLEVELAND'S FUTURE: THE TRUE2U PROGRAM, A CAREER AWARENESS AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT MENTORING PROGRAM FOR 8TH GRADERS IN THE CLEVELAND METROPOLITAN SCHOOL DISTRICT, SAW 100% PARTICIPATION FROM ALL 66 K-8 SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT DURING THE 2017-2018 SCHOOL YEAR. PARTICIPATION DURING THE YEAR INCLUDED ALL OF THE APPROXIMATELY 2,500 8TH GRADE STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT AS WELL AS 400 BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY MENTORS SUPPORTING THE PROGRAM.CREATING CONNECTIONS: THE EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE TEAM PARTICIPATED IN THE CREATION, FUNDING, AND LAUNCH OF WORKFORCE CONNECT, AN IMPORTANT BUILDING BLOCK IN CUYAHOGA COUNTY'S OVERALL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT ECOSYSTEM. THE PROGRAM WILL SUPPORT EMPLOYERS' SEARCH FOR TALENT OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS BY CREATING BUSINESS-LED SECTOR INTERMEDIARIES IN MANUFACTURING, HEALTHCARE AND IT. ADDITIONALLY, THE GCP WAS SELECTED AS ONE OF THE CO-INTERMEDIARIES FOR THE WORKFORCE CONNECT MANUFACTURING SECTOR PARTNERSHIP.PRIORITIZING EDUCATION: FEEDBACK AND INPUT FROM BUSINESSES PROVIDED BY THE GCP WAS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN THE PLANNING AND LAUNCH OF A SAY YES TO EDUCATION CHAPTER IN NORTHEAST OHIO. SAY YES TO EDUCATION IS A COMMUNITY INITIATIVE THAT AIMS TO MAKE EDUCATION A PRIORITY FOR CLEVELAND RESIDENTS; BOOST AND RETAIN THE CITY'S POPULATION; IMPROVE COLLEGE ACCESS FOR MIDDLE- AND LOW-INCOME FAMILIES IN CLEVELAND; AND SPUR ECONOMIC GROWTH AND EXPANSION IN THE REGION.
