Ohio has the fourth greatest number of Submarine Industrial Base (SIB) supplier, 48 Ohio Technical Centers, and 1 national headquarters of the American Power Boat Association. It’s the perfect place to host a 100% Budget Warriors competition that engages local workforce partners. A September kickoff/job fair sets the stage for an engaging April collegiate race and job fair. We’re excited to partner with the APBA and SOCHE to make this an impactful event for Ohio students and employers.
Employers are invited to sign up to interview in the climate-controlled indoor space and walk the collegiate work area with the resumes we provide all signed-up Hiring Managers with resume files in advanced to make each person’s time most impactful.
