|
The REACH career
education program, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce of
Sandusky County, now in its fifth year, is designed to introduce
area upper-elementary school students to the “world of work” by
providing Consultants from Business Partner Chamber members that
visit schools on a monthly basis to discuss the types of jobs
available at their companies and to present lessons designed to
encourage them to develop life skills that will assist in
preparing them to join the workforce in the future.
Consultants utilize a curriculum
book developed by The Ohio State University – Marion to present
a series of lessons, reinforced by hands-on activities, that
include as a highlight a visit to the Business Partner’s place
of business.
Some 1,200 students fourth and fifth grade students throughout
Sandusky County have benefitted from the REACH program since its
launch in 7 classrooms at Green Springs School in 2003. For the
2007-2008 school year over 400 students in 20 classrooms in 9
schools are being “reached” by Consultants from 18 Business
