The Land of Finding Your Way

Starting a career in the tech industry

In addition to traditional post-graduate career paths, Cleveland has it covered when it comes to workforce training. We're building a diverse and robust pipeline of skilled talent by creating unique internship and apprenticeship programs benefiting employers and employees.

  • STEM internships – Greater Cleveland Partnership (GCP), together with Cuyahoga County, Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland State University, launched a three-year initiative to retain and create a diverse talent pipeline for Greater Cleveland businesses that will create 500 internships in STEM fields. Students enrolled at Cleveland State University and Case Western Reserve University are eligible to apply. 

  • Greater Cleveland Partnership’s Registered Apprenticeship Hub – An equitable apprenticeship hub for the region focused on sectors including tech. 

  • Greater Cleveland Career Consortium – Public, private, educational and non-profit organizations working together to help students design a career plan that aligns with their interests and skills. 

The Land for Tech Education

The Land of Entrepreneurship

Starting a business in Cleveland

Entrepreneurship is in Cleveland’s DNA — from Garrett Morgan pioneering the first traffic light, to OverDrive creating the world’s largest digital service app for libraries. 

Today, the entrepreneurial community is thriving and includes a vibrant network of mentorship, networking, education and other resources.

And investment in the region is strong, too.  Cleveland-area startups raised $578 million in venture capital deals in 2022, nearly double the growth from 2021 – all while other venture capital investments across the companies were in decline. 

In addition to all that, Greater Cleveland is the third largest region in the Midwest for biotech companies, with more than $3 billion invested in 700+ companies by 2022.
