We are delighted you would like to participate in our Careers2Classrooms Boot Camp. In partnership with the Columbus Chamber of Commerce and Columbus Chamber Foundation, the ESC offers an Educator Workforce Boot Camp. Educators will gain knowledge about career pathways directly from local industry leaders. 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 Central Ohio region. Through this experience you will earn 3 graduate credits from Ashland University. There will be assignments to be completed throughout the boot camp with a final project due on June 13th. Attendance is mandatory June 2-5, & 13, 2025, 8:00-3:30. Payment is due at the time of registration. Seats are limited to 24 per cohort (total of 48). We are offering 2 cohorts.
