Over the past two years, QCP—led by Dave Kirven, Executive Director of Labor Development, and Jack Ford, Executive Director of Business Relations — has been an essential partner in helping expand the reach and impact of the Stark County School Counselors' Association. Through their strong advocacy for Skilled Trades professions, QCP has created valuable opportunities for school counselors to gain firsthand insight into what employers are looking for in today’s workforce.
