Educator Workforce Boot Camp

In partnership with the Columbus Chamber of Commerce and Columbus Chamber Foundation, the ESC offers the Careers2Classrooms Educator Workforce Boot Camp. Educators, K-12, will gain knowledge about career pathways directly from local industry leaders in the fields of bioscience, construction, energy, healthcare, information technology, modern manufacturing, supply chain & logistics, and transportation industry sectors. By touring local businesses and industries, educators gain insight into the vast number of local careers available to students upon graduation as well as the skills needed for each occupational sector. It provides a unique opportunity for professional development and networking with local businesses and aims to identify and connect students to high-paying, high-demand careers local to the Columbus region.  
 
All participants have the ability to earn graduate credits from Ashland University. Educators will create and present lesson plans and/or projects that will be implemented in the classroom, bridging educators’ current comprehension of those essential career skills to the industry needs. Participants will gain valuable insight to the skills, training and education needed to help prepare their students for the workforce while connecting those careers to their content. The educator investment is only $140.00 while sponsorships will cover the remaining $400.00 ($540.00 value). Participants are responsible for their own transportation.
