Huron County seeks employers for student career programs

Huron County employers can host student workplace visits and take part in school career programs during the 2026-27 school year, according to the Huron County Growth Partnership.

The partnership's Oct. 30 report invites businesses to work with the county Business Advisory Council, which connects schools with local employers. Opportunities include career camps and a senior job fair scheduled for May 11, 2027, at Norwalk High School.

The partnership says it is coordinating four career camps this school year. Businesses can host tours, demonstrate work processes or speak with students about their jobs.

Bellevue High School is also hosting a regional senior leadership event called The Pinnacle in November, according to the report. Professionals can share their experience and help students explore options after graduation. The report does not give that event's date or participation deadline.

Employers hiring seniors can attend the May job fair with current openings and staff prepared to discuss pay, benefits and qualifications. The partnership also describes an August teacher boot camp in which educators visit businesses to learn about workplaces and career paths.

The council's next listed meeting is Nov. 20 in Greenwich, Huron County. The report does not supply a meeting time or street address.

Businesses of all sizes can contact Troy Parks at tparks@huroncountyohio.com or 419-668-4155 to join the council or discuss hosting a meeting, arranging student experiences or participating in other programs.
