Leadership expert and author Simon Sinek started a movement with his book “Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action.” His theory is that when a leader knows their “why” and leads with it in mind, they will inspire action and earn the trust of others, advancing the purpose, mission, or outcome for their company. Your "why" is the purpose, cause, or belief behind what you are doing.

Black Americans have contributed to the foundation and framework of how we live, work, and play, but often, those stories go unreported and unnoticed. Black History Month presents an opportunity to elevate the voices and stories of Black Americans who have shaped the construction industry and celebrate their impact.

For the first time since October 2019, the Cleveland Building Trades Tradeswomen Committee hosted their Apprenticeship Fair. 

The semi-annual event was paused in 2020 and the first part of 2021 for COVID-19 safety precautions.

After a year and a half pause, the apprenticeship fair resumed with an in-person event in mid-October at the Plumbers Local 55 Union Hall. The event drew more than 230 students and adults.
