CEO Internship Program
The Career Engagement Opportunity (CEO) Internship Program is designed to give students an opportunity to explore a career in their area of interest. The CEO Program is a collaborative effort between each Ottawa County High School and the business community to offer students the ability to connect school to career and gain real world work experience. This is a great opportunity for students to learn new skills, gain knowledge, and to engage in relevant experiences, while exploring their career interests. After meeting all necessary requirements, which are further explained in the CEO packet, students will earn high school credit by participating in their internship experience. Students must provide their own transportation to and from their internship site.
Ottawa County Career Showcase
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!
