High school students touring a pre-apprenticeship training program at the Workforce Center.

Pre-Apprenticeship Discovery Days

Tour the programs before you apply. Sessions run 9:00am - 2:00pm.

The Fairfield County Workforce Center, established in 2020, provides training programs for high-demand industries. The programs are offered through a collaborative partnership between the Fairfield County Commissioners, Ohio University Lancaster Campus and the Russ College of Engineering, and Hocking College. These programs have been transformed into Pre-Apprenticeships to serve actively enrolled high school seniors in their final semester and meet new state graduation requirements, while simultaneously providing certification-based training in skilled, in-demand occupations (carpentry, electrical, HVAC, and water/wastewater). Discovery Days are for students to attend and learn about the different career training programs available.
