State-Wide High School Tech Internship Opportunity
The Ohio Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation provides funding for high school students who intern with employers in technology-based positions. BB2C was selected to be the intermediary for this program for 25 counties in Southeastern Ohio. The program reimburses employers for hosting high school interns in technology-focused positions.
Real World Problem Scenarios
"I'm so excited to give our students the chance to do something student-led," expressed [a] participant. "I'm learning that our students don't get many opportunities to be pushed like this, so I think they're going to be excited for the freedom and change of pace!"
Real World Problem Scenario envisions a future where students not only grasp theoretical concepts in the classroom but also apply them in real-world settings.
