The Strengthening Community Colleges Grant is made possible through a consortium of Lorain County Community College, Stark State College, Cuyahoga Community College and Lakeland Community College. The NEO Opportunities in Tech project supports capacity building at four regional community colleges to meet the Information Technology workforce needs of area employers. Facilitated by the Ohio Technical Skills Innovation Network, known as Ohio TechNet, partners work closely with Team Northeast Ohio and the Greater Cleveland Partnership to engage industry leaders and ensure our work is targeted to the most in-demand occupations.

This project is funded by a grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration and is in partnership with the Ohio TechNet, a statewide consortium of over 40 community colleges, universities and technical centers focused on accelerating innovation to meet manufacturing and tech workforce needs.
