The ESC of Northeast Ohio and the First Ring Schools Collaborative hosted An E4Me Career Program on October 24 at the ESC of Northeast Ohio. More than 200 high school students from schools from Cleveland and inner ring suburbs learned about their employment, entrepreneurship, enlistment and education opportunities after high school graduation, including Richmond Heights Local Schools and Cuyahoga Heights Local Schools.
There were 40+ panelists/presenters that work in different fields as well as all branches of the United States military who had the opportunity to interact with the students. One of the most common pieces of advice from the panelists was the importance of young adults developing soft skills… having a good work ethic, integrity, responsibility, being on time, having good communication skills and showing proper manners.
“We hope this day has inspired these students to think about their future in a new light and now have insight into making decisions on their next pathway,” said Tippi Foley, Career Pathways & Early Childhood Consultant for the ESC of Northeast Ohio.
