The Workforce Innovation Center actively partners and collaborates with regional, national, and global organizations that share our vision. Together, we drive inclusive capitalism, bolster worker support, solve talent challenges, and leverage resources for mutual advancement. In September, we have some exciting events with amazing regional partners to share and invite you to join.


On Friday, September 8, Cincinnati Compass presents the third annual Cincinnati Rhythm, a celebration of the array of cultures present in the Cincinnati region with food, music, performances, and awards to celebrate the immigrants and refugees who call this region home. Hosted at Waypoint Aviation’s Airport Hangar, it is a unique and vibrant event where you are sure to have a great time.


The following Monday, September 11, you can start your work week in a day of learning and discussion at the Conscious Practices for Greater Impact, an all-day summit hosted by the Conscious Capitalism Cincinnati Chapter. This year’s event features a keynote by Raj Sisodia, Co-Founder of Conscious Capitalism along with several meaningful and engaging breakout sessions to further explore related topics. The Workforce Innovation Center is pleased to be a collaborator along with B Corp Regional Group, Social Enterprise Alliance, Canopy Kentucky, Net Impact UC Chapter, and the Conscious Capitalism Cincinnati Chapter.
