To keep our career and technical
training programs up-to-date with state-of-the-art technology, Four County
Career Center instructors are eligible to participate in a Work Experience
program sponsored by the Career Center.
Instructors have the opportunity to participate with a local employer in
an internship experience in the career and technical area of their
expertise. Following their internship
time, the instructors include the up-to-date training methods into their
curriculum to give the best possible education to students attending the Career
Center. The local internship site is not
responsible for wages to instructors during their training. Through these types of partnerships with
local businesses, Four County Career Center exists to serve the people of
northwest Ohio.
Shown above is Heather Myers, Intervention
Specialist instructor (LEFT) who had the opportunity to work at Ten Thousand
Villages in Archbold. Heather is shown
working with Elizabeth Baer, Store Manager (RIGHT). Heather will utilize the training she
received to teach the students at the Career Center about the cycle of
generational poverty and the importance of supporting others so they may be
able to support their families with a living wage. She is also learning more
about communication tools that she can bring back to the classroom.
