Looking Toward a Brighter Future CONTENTS
This special insert shares what some of our business members are doing to tackle ongoing workforce challenges. Hopefully, as we continue to share ideas on this topic, it will help all of us as businesses find new ways to hire, engage and retain employees. Also, in this insert, we learn about the new kindergarten through senior high school that is under construction in Wickliffe, as well as two recently built high schools in the Willoughby-Eastlake School District. Strong and updated schools draw residents to our communities, which also draws businesses. We are excited to see this new educational infrastructure in our communities.
The Willoughby Western Lake County Chamber of Commerce has worked hard this year to help our businesses continue to grow with educational marketing workshops, networking meetings and many other events to bring businesses together and help them thrive. We also collaborate with other Lake County organizations to bring workforce development events such as the Lake County job fair and the Lake County Think Manufacturing Student Expo, which help our members identify and hire employees.

Acollaborative, multi-year imagining effort coupled with unparalleled community support has been the real ground broken for the new Wickliffe Cam pus, a 205,000-square-foot building designed to embrace new ways to educate and inspire the district’s 1,400 students.
The two-story new build for Wickliffe School District will house pre-K through 12th grade in one modern complex that is both on time and on budget for a June 2023 completion in preparation for the start of the 2023-2024 school year, says superintendent Joe Spiccia.
In November 2019, voters generously supported a $60 million bond issue to build the campus, which will replace all of the district’s existing school buildings. The con struction, which is on the site of the current high school, officially began in May 2021.
“While there is some movement in small districts to go to a single building campus, it’s relatively unique in the state of Ohio,” Spiccia says.
The district’s original plan in 2017 was to renovate its aging school buildings. “Our cur rent middle school and elementary school are both almost 115 years old and in poor shape,” he adds. “We discovered that it was more expensive actually to do the renovation than to look at a new construction project.”
Reimagination of Education
The priority is to ensure that students are future ready and that the district provides well-designed curriculum and programs to meet the needs of a diverse group of stu dents, Spiccia says.
“We wanted to create a space that was going to help students and the community become successful in whatever it is they want to become,” he adds. “Our thinking behind
FUTURE READY
BY CHRISSY KADLECKthat was first to empower staff to use the skills and the knowledge and the experiences they have to create a great educational pro gram, and second to create a building which the community can be really proud of.”
Through an inspired and exhaustive process Spiccia calls the “reimagination of education,” led by the district’s director of strategic innovation, Julie Ramos, the district examined every one of its practices and every thing that happens inside the school building.
“For the past year and a half, every month we met individually with all licensed staff members in the district, every single teacher, every single school counselor,” Spiccia says. “We also meet every single week with students, and we meet once a month with community mem bers. And essentially the question is: If you could build an educational program, what would it look like? What is the dream out there? Why do we do what we do and is that the best way to do it?”
The result will be a welcoming, parklike campus that incorporates spaces that will greatly expand opportunities for the curriculum and enhanced learning, provide students better collaborative spaces and promote flexible classrooms.
For example, the district’s preschool, kinder garten, first- and second-grade students will be in traditional, self-contained classrooms, but beginning in the third grade, students will not have one single teacher but rather move from place to place based on their needs.
“We will do a lot of progress monitoring and formative assessment to determine where students belong,” says Spiccia, referencing the concept that a student who excels in reading in the fourth grade could move easily to join a ninth grade reading group and then shift to another level for science or English. Before, this fluidity to match advanced students with a personalized educational plan wasn’t possible when grades and curriculum were separated in different school buildings.
NEW LAKE COUNTY SCHOOLS ARE DESIGNED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF A DIVERSE GROUP OF STUDENTS AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY.Garden Courtyard
Assets to the Community
The new Willoughby South and Eastlake North high schools opened in 2019 and ushered in a new era of structured learning for students in grades 9 through 12 in the Willoughby-Eastlake School District.
Both schools were designed to facilitate collaborative learning coupled with partnerships to expand learning opportunities for students. For example, there are kiosks managed by Cardinal Credit Union. The Credit Union sends employees to the school to run the kiosks, and students work with the banking partner. This enables them to learn finance and banking skills.
The district was also able to incorporate the most up-to-date safety measures. For exam ple, 3M film has been installed on windows to delay access of an intruder. There are also cameras throughout the buildings, as well as bullpen entrances and secured entrances.
“Building new schools is an opportunity that very few districts have the chance to experience. It was my privilege to come together with staff members, students and the citizens in the community to be able to provide safe, state-of-the-art facilities that will serve students for generations to come,” says superintendent Stephen L. Thompson.
During the planning phases of the con struction for South High School, the district collaborated with the city of Willough by and the YMCA and built shared spaces to keep costs down and provide additional opportunities for all community members.
“Including shared spaces in our construc tion projects has given all community members an asset that Willoughby-Eastlake is proud to provide,” Thompson adds.
“There will be opportunities for our older kids to work with our younger kids as aca demic tutors, as mentors, as supportive role models,” Spiccia says. “I have a great deal of confidence and faith in young people. What we know is going to happen is every single one of our students will benefit from having a broad range of ages.”
Building Design
Large group spaces have also been incor porated into the modern design to create more of a collegiate feel for older students. For instance, there will be a coffee shop type space where students can go when they have a free period, replacing the herded feeling of study halls.
Other important considerations were color schemes that have been shown to promote a sense of calm and versatile fur niture choices. “Almost all of our furniture can be adjusted for the size of students, and you’ll find very flexible arrangements that include standing desks, high-top table desks as well as traditional desks — whatever it is that helps students be most successful,” Spiccia says.
In addition, the new facility will have im proved athletic areas, a beautiful performing arts center that seats 500 and the expansion of the Family Resource Center, a community center that offers free services to many who are in need.
COURTESY WILLOUGHBY-EASTLAKE CITY SCHOOLS North High School South High School Humanities Hub Community Hub and Media CenterBUILDING A SOLID WORKFORCE
BY CHRISSY KADLECKIf you’re a job seeker looking for a new opportunity with increased pay and a hybrid or flexible work schedule, there has not been a better time in recent years.
If you’re an employer, not so much. Em ployers, especially those in the manufactur ing sector, are having to do some corporate soul searching to differentiate themselves to attract quality candidates from a shrinking pool of workers.
Tim Bleich, president of Vector Techni cal, which has been connecting companies to job candidates for 30 years, says the last two and a half years have made people a lot more self-reflective.
“They are looking at ‘what’s most import ant to me,’ and a lot of people are moving into better-paying positions and better career opportunities,” says Bleich, who works with a lot of manufacturing companies in the area. “When they polled the top reasons for voluntarily leaving a position, for Gen Z and millennials, the number one reason was growth opportunities; for baby boomers, the number one reason was better compensa tion.” Bleich notes that candidate flow and quality have improved significantly thanks to overdue wage increases.
It’s clearly an employees’ market, says Jim Levine, owner of Express Employment Profes sionals; he owns two of the area’s job placement offices and he’s doubled his staff and produc tion between 2020 and 2021.
“There are a lot of things going on in terms of increased pay and benefits, signing bonuses and all kinds of things to attract people,”
Levine says, adding that he has seen pay in crease an average of 24%. “But from a recruit ing perspective, it’s extremely challenging. We already saw the handwriting on the wall of a smaller workforce and the shortage of skilled trades. The pandemic definitely exacerbated that situation, and there’s a number of people that, for a variety of reasons, are not willing or not able to return to the workforce.”
He said there are still a lot of challenges that are keeping people out of the workforce, most notably childcare. Not only have many childcare facilities closed as a result of the pandemic, people who are on the lower end of wage levels are staying home because they either don’t have or can’t afford childcare.
That being said, a lot of companies are responding to workforce development chal lenges by focusing on retention and provid ing flexibility. On the following pages, we’ll hear from five local businesswomen who are helping their companies stay successful while navigating the labor shortage.
Early Steps Learning Center
Retention and hiring bonuses, enhanced benefit packages and a 20% increase in wages across the board are some of the ways Early Steps Learning Center is trying to attract quality employees to its childcare centers.
Sharon Jackson, owner and CFO of the company, which has three centers — two in Richmond Heights and one in Wickliffe — says there isn’t a playbook or business model she can reference to help her navi gate a pandemic.
“You have to kind of be creative, try to think out of the box and try to look at your business and say, ‘What is it that we value? What is our mission? What is it that we are trying to accomplish and what’s the best way to do it?’” says Jackson, who opened her business in 2003.
Her centers care for infants through school age, from six weeks to age 12. “We’ve been tremendously impacted from the standpoint of finding quality staff members who have the credentials to be able to work in our preschools and work with the children but at the same time trying to keep our current workforce in a place where they are motivated and feel as though they are being valued for basically hanging in there through the last two years,” Jackson says.
Early Steps Learning Centers serve about 160 children on a daily basis across the three childcare centers, nearly a 50% decrease compared to pre-pandemic numbers, and most of that is the result of a workforce shortage, Jackson says.
“We have wait lists for people trying to get in, but we don’t have additional staff to in crease enrollment. We’ve also had to reduce our hours,” she says.
Jackson’s centers were open during the pan demic shutdown for frontline workers, so her staff never got a break. “Internally, the biggest impact is mentally trying to figure out a way that we can help our core staff with the stressful work environment, because if you have limited staff, you don’t have as much flexibility in scheduling and giving time off to use all their vacation time and personal days," she adds.
EXPERTS EXPLAIN WHY FINDING EMPLOYEES IS SO CHALLENGING RIGHT NOW, AND FIVE LOCAL BUSINESSWOMEN SHARE CREATIVE WAYS THEY’RE NAVIGATING THE LABOR SHORTAGE.
“You have to kind of be creative, try to think out of the box ... ”
—Sharon Jackson
Stabilization grants from the state of Ohio earmarked for the childcare industry have helped. Those funds have been used toward recruitment, hiring, retention and to increase wages, as well as to offer signing bonuses.
“We also have a really nice benefit package that we offer our staff,” Jackson says. "We offer medical benefits, 401(k) plan with matching benefits, childcare discounts and scholarships for individuals who are interested in pursuing an early childhood education degree. As far as my current staff, we’ve paid them retention bonuses, we’ve increased our salaries sig nificantly, we have paid vacations, and we’ve added holidays to our benefit package.”
One way Jackson has tried to reward her team is by celebrating a Hero’s Day, where she closed the center on a Friday and gave her 20 employees a paid day off as a celebra tion of their dedication and hard work.
“We’re the backbone of the workforce,” she says. “If there’s no childcare anywhere, then that’s going to place a hardship on people being able to actually go out to work.”
Fiona’s Coffee Bar & Bakery
Unlike most in the service industry, Fiona’s Coffee Bar & Bakery has an overload of appli cants wanting to work at the popular breakfast and lunch spot in downtown Willoughby. The same goes for all the concepts owned by Meghan Wickline and her two brothers, in cluding Mickey’s, a new ice cream shop, as well as Nora’s Public House and The Wild Goose.
“We are extremely lucky in all of our busi nesses as far as employees go,” says Wickline. “In each restaurant, we have at least a hand ful who have been with us for a long time, which, in this business, you’re very lucky if you have people like that.”
At Mickey’s, which just opened in April, Wickline employs mostly high school stu dents, and at Fiona’s it’s most college-aged kids in the summer. She employs about 18 people at each spot.
“We always try to make the work atmo sphere fun,” she says. “It’s very welcoming and inviting at all of our restaurants, and it’s kind of like your family when you come in. I think that’s why a lot of people are attracted to working there.”
She says her culture is built on appreciating her staff, whether it’s through a summer party, Christmas party, bonuses or offering all em ployees a 25% discount to the restaurants.
“And I always say please and thank you,” Wickline adds. “I do appreciate every single person who works for me, and I do appre ciate every single thing that they bring to the business, because everybody brings something different.”
API-Trucast
Building upon company values such as continuous improvement, the management team at API-Trucast and its sister compa nies of Apollo Products and Trucast have taken a holistic approach to attracting and retaining employees.
“We want everyone to feel like there’s room for improvement, and we’re going to help them achieve their goals for their own development path,” says Katy Baden, operations manager for API-Trucast and a member of the leadership team of its sister companies, which support the aerospace industry. Between the three operating com panies, approximately 130 employees work among the four facilities on Hammond Parkway in Willoughby.
“Hiring has definitely been difficult. There are just more open jobs than there are working people,” she says, adding that they have spent quite a bit of time working with staffing agencies in the area to get the company name and job openings out there, as well as partnering with Auburn Career Center to bring in apprentices from their machining program.
The companies have raised their starting rates after undertaking a job analysis to make sure people were being paid appropriately for their skill levels. In addition, they added
layers to their organizational structure, so each department now offers more room for growth and development.
They have identified key focuses such as work-life balance and flexible work sched ules. They also recently implemented an employee assistance program offering ser vices such as mental health counseling and financial counseling.
The company often hosts employee luncheons, bringing in food from popular eateries such as Barrio or Chick-Fil-A, or even picking up some pizzas.
“We just try and do things to let them know that we do realize how important they are, that we wouldn’t be here without them, and we really do appreciate everything that they’re doing,” Baden says.
Universal Metal Products
Partnering with Wickliffe High School, Universal Metal Products is building aware ness about the jobs that are available at its metal stamping plants and has been success ful in recruiting students to its workforce.
“We always try to make the work atmosphere fun.”

amount of time,” says Jody Richards, president and CEO of Process Technology, which serves additional industries such as flat panel display, nanotechnology, aero space, automotive, aquaculture, biomedical and pharmaceutical.
The growing company, which employs about 300 people, has been in business more than 40 years and currently has its headquarters and R&D center in Willough by. Other than in 2020, Process Technology has grown double digits year over year for the past six years. Richards expects to dou ble sales this year, and then double them again next year.
“I need a lot of people,” she says. “I need to be more efficient.”
Recruitment efforts have included a ban ner at Great Lakes Mall, job boards, recruit ing agencies, working with local schools, internship programs and referral incentives for current team members that pay out as much as $1,500.
“We are constantly checking on the current wage rate and making sure that we’re compet itive,” Richards says. “We have extremely good
benefits. Our individual and family pay for insurance is very low, and we have no copays. We offer some hybrid schedules and flexibility to those who work on the floor. We have tui tion reimbursement programs, and we believe strongly in professional development and send people to all kinds of conferences.”
In addition to performance bonuses every year, Process Technology does a salary review every year and reviews every six
months. They also have a 401(k) match dol lar for dollar up to 6% and 11 paid holidays.
“We really do love to promote people from within, which goes back to continuing edu cation and professional development,” Rich ards says. “These people already understand the company, and you know that culturally they’re a good fit, and it’s good for them because they get a new opportunity to learn something else and to grow their salary.”

Getting jerked around by volatile utility rates?
Choose NOPEC: the safe choice for Western Lake County residents.
For-profit energy suppliers offer low rates at first. But it never lasts.
Non-profit NOPEC softens the ride with stable rates and no-risk terms. We buy electricity and natural gas in bulk, then pass the savings and benefits on to you.
We even help protect you from unreasonable utility rate increases and unfair regulation by fighting for consumer-friendly energy legislation.
To learn more, call (855) 667-3201 or visit nopec.org.
