Dedicated BAC Director

We are excited to have a dedicated director of Workforce Development who supports workforce development activities across Lorain County.  In the 2022-23 school year, the Lorain County Educational Service Center took a significant step by dedicating resources to establish a half-time position for overseeing and coordinating county-wide activities. This strategic move represents our commitment to advancing the Lorain County Business Advisory Council's (BAC) goals. The newly appointed Director of Workforce Development, a former high school vocational education teacher with expertise in marketing education, has already engaged with BAC members. His extensive background includes roles such as school-to-work coordinator, technology integration specialist, and currently, he serves as the technology director for the ESC of Lorain County, overseeing BAC activities.

His rich experience, including conducting research and leading professional development sessions for schools across northeastern Ohio, provides him with a unique perspective. As he collaborates with schools, businesses, higher education institutions, and community organizations, he plays a pivotal role in preparing students for careers that are undergoing transformation due to advancements in technology, innovation, and artificial intelligence. This transformation underscores the urgency for schools to adapt their teaching and learning methods, equipping students with the essential skills required to succeed in this evolving workplace landscape."
