Paulding \u2013 The Van Wert County Economic Development office will be hosting a \u201cBuild your Future\u201d event on September 18th, 2024 at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds. All Paulding County schools are invited to attend this year\u2019s event.  This event will be divided into two sessions \u2013 a morning session + afternoon session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a recap of the event: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vantage students in Carpentry, Construction, Electricity, Industrial Mechanics, & Welding, along with local business partners & sponsors, provide local freshman & sophomores hands on activities related to the Industrial field. The students work their way through multiple booths featuring different activities where they can weld, frame a wall, use a skid loader, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will bring freshman & sophomore students from all three Paulding County high schools to learn about, meet and discuss future opportunities with area businesses.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis event is an opportunity for students to become familiarized with local business and what they do, gain awareness of various careers, get leads on summer employment and much more. We understand that each student is in a different place with job and future education decisions. Our hope with this event is to meet students where they are in that decision process and help provide them with numerous options to consider for their future.\u201d stated Economic Development, Administrative Assistant, Jessica Stechschulte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will run 1st session: 9:00\u201311:00 a.m. 2nd session: 12:00\u20132:00 p.m. Each school will then bus their students to the event on the hour for forty-five minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
