If workforce challenges are on your radar, this QuickConnect will be an important one to attend. 

The February QuickConnect luncheon brings together the career tech leaders shaping Stark County’s future workforce for a direct, practical discussion on how businesses can better connect with students, educators and emerging talent. You’ll hear what’s working, where gaps exist and how employers can play a meaningful role in helping make connections that matter, from job shadowing and tours to classroom engagement and internships.  

School representatives will each have a tabletop display with information, so attendees can start conversations and explore the next steps before and after the event. Additional tabletops are available ($50) for any business that would like to participate.

• Brian Mohn, Career Tech Director for the South Stark Career Academy (covers Canton South, East Canton, Sandy Valley, Perry)
