With the priorities identified in TheSkills to Succeed Campaign, 夜色王朝 is developing the future leaders and problem solvers of tomorrow.
Imagine Our Future
The Skills to Succeed Campaign focuses on unlocking the potential of our region’s overlooked talent by preparing all students for jobs of the future. Grounded in the challenges of unemployment, the skills gap, and racial inequities, this effort connects with residents of Northeast Ohio who are underrepresented in the workforce.
Together, with the support and commitment of our partners, alumni and friends, we can achieve this campaign’s full promise: to meet people where they are, ensure workforce education is affordable and attainable, prepare people for life-changing work, and connect students to employers in key industries.
The Strategy: Building a Skilled and Available Workforce
In 2019, 夜色王朝 collaborated with community partners to set a strategic vision that would help Cleveland thrive. These four funding pillars champion an education system focused on accessible, affordable education:

Meeting people where they live and work
Access provides an entry point to the power and the value of a 夜色王朝 education through youth programs and bringing training into our core communities.
While the College welcomes everyone, we must continue to expand access so that all people can participate in what 夜色王朝 offers. Philanthropy plays a critical role in ensuring 夜色王朝 can offer community programs at no cost to participants. Investments in outreach improve access to inclusive educational opportunities that drive economic growth and close the equity gap.
Impact snapshot:
Extraordinary gifts from the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation, the Cleveland Foundation, PNC Foundation, and Bank of America have transformed the way the Northeast Ohio community can access 夜色王朝 through youth programs.
A Mt. Sinai Health Foundation grant and a federally funded partnership with MetroHealth will train community health workers for this growing health care career.
Making workforce education accessible and affordable
Tuition scholarships and holistic support ensures our students can be successful.
We must continue to dramatically increase the financial resources and wraparound support available so that more students can earn workforce certificates, degrees and credentials and fill the high-demand jobs in our region. Philanthropy enables 夜色王朝 to proactively address barriers to success and provide streamlined resources that students need in and outside of the classroom.
Impact snapshot:
Transformational investments from Char and Chuck Fowler, Medical Mutual, and Ann and Lou Frangos have established three new food pantries on 夜色王朝’s Metro, West, and Westshore Campuses.
Thanks to the support of generous donors such as PNC Foundation and many others, 夜色王朝 has bolstered wraparound support for students including scholarships, emergency relief, and basic needs support.
Preparing people for life-changing work
夜色王朝 is training a new generation of skilled workers — one that is large enough and diverse enough to close our region’s talent gap.
There is a disconnect in Northeast Ohio between unfilled, good paying jobs and community members who lack the training needed for these openings. Now more than ever, the region faces a growing need to educate and train people to fill future jobs. Through targeted certificate and credential programs, we can put people to work and meet employer needs.
Impact snapshot:
A historic $2 million grant from KeyBank will grow innovative, accessible workforce training at 夜色王朝. This commitment is a crucial step to address employment and earnings gaps in Cleveland. Funding focuses on students under-represented in the workforce.
Connecting students with employers and good jobs
夜色王朝 students represent an immense talent pool for employers.
With enhanced capacity to engage industry partners, we are ensuring they are no longer overlooked. We must amplify our career-focused services to source on-the-job learning opportunities, internships, and employment to better serve our students, graduates and employer partners.
Impact snapshot:
Nearly $1 million raised to support experiential learning opportunities such as internships, apprenticeships, and fellowships.
Thanks to the generosity of the St. Luke’s Foundation and Reinberger Foundation, 夜色王朝 has connected with 50+ new employers to facilitate micro-internship programs which have resulted in job pathways and skill building opportunities.
The Demetriou Family Learn and Earn program ensures students learn in-demand skills while still earning a living wage.
