GCCC involved with internship pilot program
COLUMBUS — Lt. Governor Jon Husted recently announced the creation of the High School Tech Internship Pilot Program.
The program will produce an internship opportunity that will enable 100 high school students to become familiar with technology careers and businesses in Ohio. Connected with input from various individuals involved in businesses in Ohio, the pilot program was the creation of an existing partnership between the Ohio Development Services Agency, the Ohio Department of Education, and the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation.
The Greene County Career Center is one of 12 pilot sites selected.
“In the last three years, GCCC has doubled its information technology (IT) programs on campus from information technology and digital media to digital design and development, video and animation (formerly digital media), and cybersecurity,” said GCCC Curriculum Specialist Brett Doudican. “In the last three years, we have expanded our work-based learning and internship programs.”
