Business Partners

Ohio Hi-Point Career Center is aligned with business and industry, meeting workforce demands and helping to shape our region's economic development.

Our high school students complete practical work experiences, internships, apprenticeships, and study in state-of-the-art labs that are consistently working on projects that are given to our various programs on the advice of our business and industry advisory boards, which consist of people in the business community.  Our adult education division proactively responds and shapes its offerings to the ever-changing job market.  Adult education by nature is beneficial because of its flexibility and ability to adapt to an evolving economy and workforce.  By working with various businesses, OHP stands on the threshold of being able to shape Ohio's workforce, prepare students for college, and help high school students and adult learners earn higher wages and have a solid future.
