The Oct. 29 event, attended by representatives from Cleveland TV station WEWS Channel 5, the Huron County Growth Partnership, North Point Educational Service Center, and Firelands Electric, highlighted initiatives designed to strengthen connections between education and local industries.
The district announced details of the visit through a social media announcement.
Krystal Kelly introduced the district’s virtual reality experience, which allows students to explore various careers, including orthopedic surgery, through immersive simulations.

The boot camps offer students and teachers firsthand insights into potential career paths by facilitating visits to local businesses.
These visits are not only educational but also enable teachers to establish valuable links for guest lectures and student job shadowing opportunities, further integrating real-world experiences into the educational process.
The collaboration with district partners such as the Huron County Growth Partnership and others underscores a community-wide commitment to educational innovation and economic development in the region.
These programs aim to equip students with a clear understanding and practical knowledge of the career opportunities available within their community, developing a well-prepared workforce for the future.
