Cleveland Talent Alliance
Collaborating to Compete and Grow
For the Cleveland region to advance and compete in the global economy and be recognized as a high performing, growing and diverse metropolitan area, we must attract new talent and retain current residents. Collaboration is vital to ensuring success.
The Cleveland Talent Alliance is a consortium of public, private and nonprofit organizations that is focused on achieving this goal. Our initial focus is on talent attraction and retention in the fast growth sectors of IT/technology (including financial services), healthcare and smart manufacturing.
The Challenge We’re Addressing
Whether considering Cleveland to start or advance a career, it’s difficult to know where to find all the information needed to make a decision. The Cleveland Talent Alliance collaborates across organizations, utilizing each group's capabilities and expertise, to provide information during multiple points in the decision-making cycle.
By building a system that encompasses and addresses the talent attraction/retention cycle, the region is likely to be better positioned for success and can illustrate to both current and future residents that the Cleveland region is a community with shared goals and a commitment to collaborative success.
Vision
The Cleveland region will become one of the fastest growing and most diverse, inclusive and welcoming areas in the Midwest by 2030, through a seamless and coordinated system that identifies, attracts, navigates, engages, welcomes and retains the best talent.
