A Force for Good

Like many industries, the Greater Cincinnati nonprofit sector is not immune to challenges in recruitment, training, retention and compensation. Good people deserve good pay and opportunities to build professional careers in the nonprofit sector. "A Force for Good" will address the workforce gap in career awareness, readiness, and training, along with ways to implement best practices in recruitment, compensation, career pathways, workplace culture and public awareness. This series will provide an opportunity to hear from people working to improve our community through nonprofit sector jobs and careers, while offering more insight into the solutions that require a creative and skilled workforce to address society's greatest challenges.
