Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District

We’re proud to highlight David Giesige, director of career pathways at the Greater Cleveland Career Consortium, a vital community partner for the #RisingStars Program! 🌟 Earlier this year, our Rising Stars Program connected with the GCCC, thanks to Randy McShepard at RPM International Inc. GCCC was recognized as the perfect convener to help engage youth in the Cleveland area, bringing together 11 school district partners to evaluate how best to support Rising Stars. … The result? Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District was chosen as the host district, paving the way for meaningful implementation and expansion across the region. David emphasizes that Rising Stars represents career-connected learning done right. From the first meeting at Heights High, it was evident to him that the program is student-centered, rigorous and experiential—exactly what students need to thrive. Being part of this initiative is not only personally fulfilling for David, but also crucial for helping students take their first steps toward rewarding careers in construction. A huge thank you to David and the GCCC for your unwavering commitment to empowering our future workforce!
