About iBuild America Podcast
Inspired by a former Cleveland Job Corps graduate, Lexus Frazier, the iBuild America Podcast is dedicated to exploring innovative workforce development strategies that drive success in business, government, and education.
As industries evolve and workforce challenges grow, our mission is to foster meaningful discussions that inspire action—from closing the skills gap to improving workforce policies.
Why Workforce Development Matters.
The U.S. faces critical challenges in workforce development, including:
- A national labor shortage in key industries
- The rising cost of education and training
- The need for reskilling and upskilling workers
- Limited cross-state workforce collaboration
Through engaging conversations with industry experts, we provide valuable insights, solutions, and success stories to address these challenges and build a competitive workforce for the future.
