Greater Cleveland Partnership
GCP Educator/Teacher Interest Form

GCP offers a robust portfolio of IT career exposure programming for regional middle and high school students.  The portfolio is designed to provide students with a wide variety of experiences to explore IT/Tech careers.

The portfolio of programs is aligned with and will be coordinated with the Planning and Career Exploration (PACE) framework established by the Greater Cleveland Career Consortium (GCCC) which is embedded in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and is expanding to five new districts in 2023-24 school year (Cleveland Heights, Garfield, East Cleveland, Maple Heights, and Warrensville Heights). 

The portfolio of programs also serves the broader ecosystem of high schools in Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, and Medina counties offering programs and turnkey resources including knowledge assets, digital platform and tools, centralized for facilitated and asynchronous career exploration for students in their classrooms and at home.   

Please complete the following form and indicate which types of programs you would be interested in participating in the coming school year. We will be sending you information about all of these programs as well as other opportunities for IT Career Exploration.

If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Joy Childress (jchildress@greatercle.com).
