Computer and IT Talent – You Are the Region’s Highest In-Demand Workers
Northeast Ohio needs information technology workers! According to a report released by the Cleveland Foundation, individuals with computer and information technology skills are the most in-demand talent in the region. The report shows that in Northeast Ohio in 2013 there were 11,204 job openings in information technology. However, in the same year, that number compares to only 1,301 students awarded academic credentials in information technology. There is an obvious need to grow and attract IT talent to the Greater Cleveland region. Consequently, many of our local colleges, companies and organizations are taking action to grow this sector.

From the Desk of Joy Roller: Women Leaders
It's been said that the world would be a better place if it were run by women. For example, in a recent essay in the Wall Street Journal, Professor Melvin Konner says that due to biological make-up, countries would be less likely to go to war if a woman headed them. According to Konner, "Sex scandals, financial corruption and violence are all overwhelmingly male."
I bring this up because in my time at Global Cleveland, I've noticed again and again that it's women who are driving the efforts to bring people together and break down the walls that divide us. For example, Rita Singh, an immigrant who arrived in this country in 1979, not only built a Cleveland-based international business consulting firm with her husband, she also founded Elite Women Around the World, a membership organization working to enhance the economic position of women globally.

NEED WORKERS? Start an internship program now.
Sherwin-Williams, Giant Eagle, Rockwell Automation, Lubrizol, First Energy and Parker Hannifin Corp. are some of the companies with the largest number of internship opportunities in the region per the February 2015 Ohio Means Jobs’ Internship report. This is great news. However, according to NOCHE (Northeast Ohio Council on Higher Education) there are over 226,000 students in Northeast Ohio. These companies alone cannot offer enough internships to satisfy all the internships needed in our market.
There are many reasons to have an internship program, but perhaps the most telling is the fact that nationally employers made full-time offers to 64.8% of their interns. (According to the 2014 National Association of Colleges and Employers' (NACE) Internship and Coop Survey.
