LISBON The Columbiana County Career and Technical Center has been named one of 12 schools in the state to act as a pilot site for a paid internship program for students.
The program is through the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation and will create internships for students where some of the wages will be paid by the state of Ohio, with the goal of long-term employment once the internship ends. Students would be placed in internship roles that have similar demands to an entry-level technology based job.
The internships will focus on software, data, cloud and IT infrastructure.

Boone Salvation Army seeks bell ringers, Red Kettle goal is $36K
Sara Jordan-Heintz
“One of the oldest sayings of the Salvation Army is ‘need knows no season.’”
These are the words of Boone Salvation Army Lt. James Beardsley. As of Dec. 12, the Boone Salvation Army has raised $18,036.70 of its $36,000 Red Kettle goal, which goes until Christmas Eve. But bell ringers are in short supply this holiday season.
“Whenever we have a spot open, that’s funds we’re not raising,” he said.
Volunteers can register to ring those iconic bells at registertoring.com.
Despite the hardships of COVID-19, Beardsley said the organization has collected about the same amount of funds as it did this time last year.
