Students at the University of Northwestern Ohio had the opportunity to connect with employers from across the region during the university’s annual Fall Career Fair.
It's a chance for high school students to see dozens of career options to hopefully find the right fit for their future. MakerFest 2024 is a two-day event where high school students move from booth to booth, highlighting the region's diverse employers. They get to talk one-on-one with representatives and have a chance to try out the skills needed for that job. They were exposed to careers in the health field, construction, safety services, manufacturing, and more. Instructors hope the event will spark an interest for the students, and the students say the experience is helpful.
Ohio Employers will receive funds in order to ease COVID-19's impact in the state. The Ohio Bureau of Worker's Compensation (BWC) has issued $5 billion in dividends to Ohio Employers, which will bring total 2020 dividend numbers to nearly $8 billion.
