Auburn Career Center Makes Historic Investment in Middle School Career Exploration!

Auburn Career Center has approved $400,000, the largest one-time middle school CTE investment in our history, to support new career exploration courses across all 11 member districts.

This collaborative regional effort will help with the creation of 70+ new exploration courses this year, providing early career pathway opportunities for over 6,000 students in grades 7–10.

These funds will help districts expand hands-on learning in engineering, digital design, robotics, culinary, computer science, and other high-demand fields, strengthening alignment to Auburn’s CTE programs and building a stronger talent pipeline for our region.

Congratulations to all those involved!

This initiative reflects what is possible when we work together with a shared purpose: Earlier exposure and expanded opportunity for students across Lake and Geauga Counties.

Together, we are stronger.
