The ESC of Northeast Ohio and the First Ring Schools Collaborative hosted An E4Me Career Program on October 11, 2023 at the ESC of Northeast Ohio. More than 200 high school students from Cleveland and inner ring suburbs learned about employment, entrepreneurship, enlistment, and education opportunities after high school graduation. There were 30+ panelists/presenters, including all branches of the United States military.
