This year’s cohort is designed to be eight sessions (virtual and in-person) over a four-month period to include a capstone presentation at the end of the cohort for non-profit leaders.  Participants will have the chance to develop a tailored action plan during the capstone project, allowing local non-profit leaders to address the specific workforce climate in Cuyahoga County. Throughout the program, participants will present their findings to a select group of community leaders, which may lead to funding opportunities.
