Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
Cleveland | Cuyahoga Workforce Leadership Academy, Class of 2023
The Cleveland | Cuyahoga Workforce Leadership Academy — launched in partnership by the Ohio Workforce Coalition and the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program — brings leaders from across the Cleveland | Cuyahoga workforce ecosystem together for a year-long series of retreats, workshops, and action learning projects. The Academy provides a forum for local leaders to work collaboratively to identify local and regional systems-based challenges and create shared solutions for economic opportunity for all. Fellows work with leading practitioners throughout the country as they deepen networks; strengthen systems leadership skills; apply race, equity, and systems change frameworks to their work; and increase understanding of effective strategies and programs.
“The Ohio Workforce Coalition is excited and proud to be part of bringing the WLA to Ohio! The expertise and experience on the Aspen EOP team, the commitment of local partners and advisors, and the passion of the Fellows will combine to make this inaugural cohort a success!” — Rebecca Kusner, Director, Ohio Workforce Coalition
