I've written for some time about the importance of Education as the most fundamental need for our region. Specifically, we need our programs to be intergenerational, experiential, and service-based. More heartening news comes down the news wire just recently, reported on MSN Careers [1] and local WKYC.com. We are a fabulous find for graduate students from elsewhere, and great gravity field for grads locally. What better to resolve the brain drain, brain gain conundrum:
than developments like this [1]?
Cleveland continues to evolve, in rapid fashion. Raising awareness via our media - social, virtual, and otherwise remains paramount at this stage. A great start, to say the least.
We should also be aware of the opportunities for re-education and career advancement for older NEO residents. Adult education programs are developing nicely as well, with nice funding opportunities [2] becoming more available.
Both of these stories potentiate our regional potential. Cleveland does Rock.
