The Educational Service Center (ESC) of Northeast Ohio is leading the way in being a connector of information and work efforts which facilitates the alignment of the work of many stakeholders. Collaborating with high education institutions, the Ohio Department of Education, the Office of Workforce Transformation, Chamber of Commerce as well as local businesses, agencies and nonprofits, we strive to make connections, provide support and resources, and create innovative programming for school districts in our region.
Part of being Career Ready means that students are taught to be design thinkers and problem solvers. The ESC of Northeast Ohio has resources and professional development to build skills in educators that will lead students to have a strong foundation in transferable skills that will help them be successful in any career of their choice.
