We are in need of volunteers for the 12th Annual THINK Manufacturing Career Showcase!

The 12th Annual THINK Manufacturing Career Showcase is coming to the Fremont Rec Center on Thursday, October 1, 2026, and nearly 900 Sandusky County ninth-grade students will be taking part.

Volunteers will guide groups of 8–10 students from their buses to each station, help them stay engaged, and keep the day moving smoothly. You will not be responsible for teaching the hands-on activities—local manufacturing partners will lead the six skill stations.

Each volunteer will support one group during a session. Breakfast and lunch will be provided!

Help us introduce local students to exciting manufacturing careers and the opportunities available right here in Sandusky County.

On Tuesday, SCEDC kicked off the first Student Career Camp of the school year with a closer look at careers in marketing, and how marketing skills can be applied in nearly every industry.

Students from Bellevue High School, Fremont City Schools, Gibsonburg, and St. Joe Bishop Hoffman Catholic School heard from marketing professionals across Sandusky County:
- Staci Zimmerman, Root's Poultry
- Sara Shoemaker, Croghan Colonial Bank
- Alex Boroff, Great Lakes Community Action Partnership
- Linda Thiel, Community Health Services
- Marie Gluth, Crown Battery

During the panel discussion, our guests shared their career journeys, the many ways marketing supports their organizations, and advice for students considering this exciting field.

A special thank-you to our panelists for investing their time and knowledge in local students, and to the participating schools for helping make this event possible!

We’re excited to continue connecting students with career opportunities right here in Sandusky County. Stay tuned for next month’s Career Camp!

Our office will be closed in observance of Labor Day as we honor the contributions of American workers.

Established as a federal holiday in 1894, Labor Day recognizes the labor movement and the many industries that helped build our communities, including manufacturing.

Today, manufacturing remains a vital part of Sandusky County’s economy, supporting local jobs, families and a strong future. Enjoy your holiday!

We were glad to welcome Congressman Bob Latta back to Sandusky County yesterday for another tour with our local business leaders to see firsthand what makes Sandusky County such a powerhouse for growth and innovation.

This visit built on his productive tour earlier this March, continuing our conversation about the industries that help Sandusky County thrive. Yesterday’s itinerary included stops at Terra State Community College, Crown Battery, and ProMedica Memorial Hospital.

Thank you to Congressman Latta for his continued interest in our county and for taking the time to listen to the people and businesses that drive our success. And a huge thank you to the leaders at each stop for hosting these insightful discussions.

Working together, we are ensuring Sandusky County remains a fantastic place to do business!

On Monday, the SCEDC was privileged to attend a tour of Whirlpool in Clyde hosted for U.S. Acting Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling during NW Ohio’s workforce tour. Plant Manager and SCEDC Board Member Ryan DeLand welcomed us and led a behind-the-scenes look at the facility.

The Secretary met employees, saw the in-house training center, and even tried shooting screws. He also learned about the upskill pathways through Whirlpool's apprenticeship program. Whirlpool’s generational workforce and commitment to domestic manufacturing were on full display.

Our partnership with Whirlpool strengthens the K-12 talent pipeline across Sandusky County through student career camps, teacher bootcamps, Leadership Sandusky County, and the annual THINK Manufacturing Showcase. Thank you to Whirlpool Clyde, Ryan DeLand, and our education and workforce partners for expanding opportunity and showcasing the great careers available here at home.
