Abstract

This article reports on the Jobs and Workforce Initiative (JWFI), an employer-driven planning process aimed at developing workforce improvement strategies for northeast Ohio. The JWFI was undertaken by the Greater Cleveland Growth Association in 1996, and initial recommendations were issued in January 1997 in a report titled Building New Roads to Success. After discussing the origins of the JWFI and the theoretical perspectives underlying it, this article describes the process, the resulting recommendations, and the status of their implementation. It concludes with discussion of the overall implementation plan and the agenda that lies ahead.
