Our students are officially in project mode!

This week, they got to work creating the Workforce Hub’s entry for the Downtown Oak Harbor Scarecrow Contest! And, of course, they had to give it a little Workforce Hub personality.

Each piece of our scarecrow represents one of our academies — a hard hat for Skilled Trades 🦺, scrubs for Healthcare 🩺, and an apron for Hospitality & Tourism! 🧳

Such a fun and creative way for our students to show off what the Workforce Hub is all about this fall!

Voting begins September 28 via the Oak Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce — stay tuned! 🍁
