Towards Employment is a Cleveland-based organization focused on professional training and coaching to support workforce development. It works with local job seekers to prepare for and connect with employment opportunities, while helping employers support frontline workers. The organization emphasizes equitable access to opportunity, seeking to address barriers related to race, justice-system involvement, or geographic location. Founded in 1976 and rooted in the Cleveland region, Towards Employment operates in the professional training and coaching space. One notable development in its recent history was the 2021 launch of an Alternative Staffing Organization in partnership with the Cuyahoga County Office of Reentry. In March 2026, long-time leader Rizika retired as the organization approached its 50th anniversary.
