SEPTEMBER SPOTLIGHT
3Es in Hardin County: What's Your E?
Hardin Career Task Force was formed as a partnership between businesses, employers, workforce development professionals and educators in Hardin County. The Career Task Force collaborates to create awareness of in-demand occupations in Hardin County and to create an understanding of in-demand knowledge and skills.
This Task Force is a great example of how school districts can be supported by community agencies in order to support their Career Advising Policy and to prepare students for life after high school. This partnership between Hardin County Chamber & Business Alliance and Ohio Means Jobs Hardin County has created numerous opportunities throughout the school year to support students. The planned events include a Kick-Off Celebration, a Career Expo, a Speaker Series and finally a Signing Day to end the school year. Hardin County students are able to experience and learn about their options in Hardin County.
To learn more about how this can be replicated in your county, call Ohio Means Jobs Hardin County at (419)674-2312.

Inclusive Instructional Leadership Network
The Inclusive Instructional Leadership Network (IILN) is continuing but in a different way! We want to inform you that we are coming to you! The IILN will be coming closer to you by attending several of your county ESC meetings. The SST will bring new updates and talk and educate about information released by the Ohio Department of Education. SST6 looks forward to seeing you at your county special education director meetings. If you have any special education topics that you would like to learn more about at the county meetings, please contact Caryn Timmerman, ctimmerman@sst6.org.
