Leveraged Investments

Leveraging the Talent Hub designation and initial grant investment, the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Talent Hub was able to raise an additional $1.57M over three years to support systems and program work.  Coming from philanthropic, corporate, and public sources, these additional funds allowed the partnership to continue their system building efforts while supporting programming ranging from work-based learning to immigrant integration supports.

Exceeded enrollment targets by 322% for single, Black, female heads-of-household.

Through an integrated support system to enroll single, Black, female heads-of-household from select census tracts in Cincinnati, the Talent Hub enrolled 3,069 women into high-quality credential programs over three years, far exceeding their target of 938 enrollees.  The approach involved changing relationships among daycare facilities, non-profit basic need providers, workforce training programs, community colleges, staffing providers, and scholarship providers.   The effort is one of few targeted equity approaches throughout the country that has led to intergenerational success for families.
