CEA and Urban League of Greater Cleveland Partner to Advance Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
By: Beth Castelucci, CEA Communications
The Urban League of Greater Cleveland’s (ULGC) mission is to enable African Americans and other minority members to develop and exercise their potential on par with all other Americans through education, research, advocacy and provision of services. ULGC delivers services in three strategically aligned areas: Education and Youth Development, Entrepreneurship and Business Development, and Workforce Development. The Construction Employers Association (CEA) actively works to increase diversity and inclusion in the industry through training and mentoring programs, advocacy and support for the Contractors Assistance Association (CAA). These programs are designed to build a diverse talent pipeline for the union construction industry, connect Clevelanders to good careers, and support diverse businesses in construction. CEA and ULGC working together has been a recipe for advancing success.
