Webinar Description

The Greater Cleveland Career Consortium (GCCC) is a group of public, private, education, and non-profit organizations that work together to help every student in the region design a career plan that aligns with their interests and skills. They partner with school districts to include self-awareness and career-based learning opportunities for all students during the school day and connect employers with local school districts, students, and families to help build a regional workforce.

During this roundtable-style webinar, the GCCC team shared how clear success metrics, disaggregated data, and a culture of shared accountability helped to advance education and workforce equity for people in the region. GCCC also discussed how it publicly reports progress on its mission while promoting transparency and accountability with the support of Clear Impact.
