The SHORE Line presents: From Classrooms to Careers – Inspiring the Next Generation of Tourism Leaders

S2, E31 

This week on The SHORE Line, we’re diving into how tourism fuels our local economy and the exciting ways Ottawa County, Ohio is preparing the workforce of tomorrow! As summer winds down, we share some of our favorite August events and some ways to plan your Shores & Islands Ohio visit with itineraries that inspire. Then, host Jill Bauer sits down with Katherine Adams, Director of Workforce Innovation at the Ottawa County Improvement Corporation, to discuss the brand-new Hospitality & Tourism Academy, part of the innovative Workforce Hub for Career Advancement. Discover how this first-of-its-kind program will inspire students, strengthen local businesses, and build a thriving future for our communities—all right here in Shores & Islands Ohio. Find out more about this ambitious new project at OCIC.org. August episodes are sponsored by DowntownFremontOhio.org.
