History

LearningWork Connection (LWC) has provided youth-development services and support since 2002. We have a long partnership with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services where we provide support for its Workforce Investment Act youth program.

LWC began as a continuation of the School-to-Work/Workforce Development Clearinghouse, created in 1996 as part of the State University Education Deans of Ohio (SUED) Systems Integration Coalition. The Clearinghouse had an established history of providing comprehensive, high-quality information to all stakeholders in the Ohio School-to-Work System, a record of excellence continued by LWC.
