The Future Skills Report

Dwellworks, LLC is a winner of the Top Workplaces in Northeast Ohio for 2023 honor by cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer, joining a list of several other local companies. Since 2007, Dwellworks has been a top provider of global workforce mobility support solutions around the world, and is proud to be headquartered in downtown Cleveland, right in the heart of the bustling Playhouse Square theatre district.

“We wanted our global headquarters in Northeast Ohio because of the talent here,” says Dwellworks’ CEO Bob Rosing. “Dwellworks employees are caring and curious, doing whatever we can to best serve our customers. This was masterfully demonstrated by our flexibility, adjustments, and responsiveness during the COVID-19 pandemic, through to today. We’re grateful for the institutional knowledge of our long-term and tenured staff, coupled with the valuable and fresh perspectives of new team members. The ability to attract, hire, and embrace new talent in a truly inclusive way has sustained our culture over time.”

The Top Workplaces list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology specialist Energage LLC. The confidential survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization, including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few. At Dwellworks, these pillars are not just paramount to the company’s success, they are important because they foster a friendly work environment.

“The Dwellworks team is amazing. All credit for this award goes to the people who work for our company, not only in Cleveland but around the globe,” says Shana Zollar, Dwellworks’ Chief Human Resource Officer. “Our team is made up of professionals who care about the company and the work that they do. They have helped us to build a culture where people love to work well together, support each other, and truly care about their coworkers. There is nothing that this very special team cannot achieve.”

How can education prepare students for, arguably, one of the most crucial and defining steps into the workplace and adult life? Over the last five years, students have witnessed a global pandemic, learning behind screens, isolation, a growing climate crisis, wars and political events that have global impact. Worldwide industries, communities and societies are constantly adapting and evolving to meet new sets of challenges, so it is imperative for education to be at the forefront of this change. This will help ensure that today’s students are prepared to face not only our current challenges, but are able to pre-empt, identify and effectively plan to tackle issues that are yet to arise.

This research, Education for a World of Opportunity, has been conducted collaboratively by ACS International Schools and the IB Schools and Colleges Association (IBSCA) in the UK. Through YouGov polling, it surveyed senior decision makers from British Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) representative of British business sizes.

In 2022, there were 5.5 million private sector businesses accounted for in the UK, of which over 5.47 million were SMEs. They are the backbone of the UK economy; driving growth, playing a vital role in providing employment opportunities, and opening new markets. SMEs also help create competition and further encourage innovation across a range of sectors. Qualitative research has also been undertaken with leading global companies and organisations, including: McKinsey & Company, Amazon Web Services, Royal College of Arts, Schlumberger, and more.

ACS International Schools has been aligned with the International Baccalaureate (IB)’s educational philosophy for more than 50 years. Together, ACS International Schools and IBSCA believe that every student can rise to meet academic and personal challenges and fulfil a potential that they might not even know lies within them.
