This collaborative effort between private sector and K-12 education has set the stage for students to engage with local companies and learn about career opportunities that exist in the same communities where they live, play, and learn. The companies are able to engage students in different hands-on activities that demonstrate skill sets necessary to excel in a broad cross section of careers, including CNC, culinary/hospitality, electrical, engineering, emerging healthcare, machine operation, maintenance, and welding (among others). Previous business participants include Northern Manufacturing, Materion Brush, Magruder Hospital, Davis Besse, Graymont Dolime, U.S. Gypsum, Ohler & Holzhauer, Bay Point Resort and many more!
