ShawneeWORKS
Partners to Expand Workforce Career Pathways
Shawnee State University is transforming workforce development at the high school level with ShawneeWORKS, a first-of-its-kind partnership between SSU and five regional career technical centers:
“Demand for graduates with applied technical skills is exploding throughout Ohio. This new partnership is a natural extension of the focus shared by Shawnee State University and our region’s outstanding career technical centers to provide students with the education and experience they need for the jobs they seek.”
SSU President Eric Andrew Braun
Shawnee State University and career technical centers across south-central Ohio are joining together to leverage the region’s high schools, career technical centers, and adult learners to develop a mission-critical talent pipeline for emerging industries in our region with a new program, ShawneeWORKS.
ShawneeWORKS is an innovative workforce and educational attainment initiative that expands dual credit and College Credit Plus between partner schools, provides direct entry into the workforce for CTC graduates, and streamlines admissions into two- and four-year applied technical degree programs. Students and employers will realize lower educational costs and a faster time to completion.
The ShawneeWORKS partnership provides a streamlined regional recruitment network that will help ensure maximum opportunity for all students. Students at partner career technical centers can begin taking advantage of ShawneeWORKS educational benefits this year.
