On Jan. 17, Oak Harbor High School hosted its first Career Day, an event designed to inform and guide students as they explore their future career paths.
With more than 20 career presentations available, students participated in seven personalized sessions based on their interests and aptitudes. The event provided students with insights into a wide range of career options while offering the potential to spark new ideas for career paths.
Presentations showcased a wide range of fields, including mechanical and nuclear engineering (Davis-Besse), broadcasting and sports announcing, and various medical careers such as ultrasound technician, cardiac sonographer and family nurse practitioner. Other presentations included the Ottawa County Major Crimes Unit and Border Patrol, HVAC, electrician, water and sewer maintenance, architecture, motion control robotics, computer science, Swig Ohio Shuttles, Black Swamp Bird Observatory, Ohio Department of Transportation, psychology, college professorship, commercial driving, and government and nonprofit administration. Additionally, eighth graders participated in virtual career simulations to explore potential career paths.
District officials credited high school career coaches Bethany Karbler and Chelsea Scott for planning and helping to make the event a success.
