Business Participation

Participating businesses included Davis Besse, Northern Manufacturing, Materion, Catawba Island Club, Magruder Hospital and LogistiQ (a division of LEWCO).

Teachers were challenged to engage in employer activities, learn about the diversity of products and services, what vocational and soft skills are needed by local employers, and current and future job opportunities within each business.

Teachers participating in the Boot Camp will receive graduate credit hours from Ashland University. A final component to the Boot Camp were teacher presentations to a panel of local business leaders, colleagues, and Business Advisory Council members. Participants spoke about their experience during the boot camp, what they learned about each business and how they are going implement the information they learned into their curriculum.
