Career camps connect students to careers

FREMONT — This past month, the Sandusky County Economic Development Corp. hosted two additional career camps for Sandusky County-area high school students. The camps connected them to potential careers "that fit their natural talents right here in our community," according to a corporation statement. Here's a look at the two most recent events with corporation statements providing context: • Engineering Career Camp on March 3 — "This new addition allowed students interested in engineering to hear from the University of Toledo's engineering program and their partnership with Terra State Community College. Students toured Motion Controls Robotics, gaining hands-on experience testing a robot and visited Crown Battery to learn about various engineering departments." • Mechanics Career Camp on March 10 — "Students kicked off this camp at Vanguard-Sentinel Career and Technology Centers, engaging in hands-on activities with mechanics equipment before touring Streacker Tractor Sales for demonstrations. They concluded the day at Throttle Society, exploring the new sales floor and mechanics shop. Many students left with applications, excited about the local opportunities in Sandusky County." "Thank you to all the businesses, educational partners and participants who mentor our students and build clear pathways from classroom to career," according to the corporation.
