BOTKINS Approximately 30 high school seniors, from seven Sidney/Shelby County school districts, had the opportunity to network with local employers and education organizations on March 5, 2021. The Power Lunch, held this year at The Palazzo in Botkins, is an annual event coordinated by Workforce Partnership of Shelby County and co-sponsored by Hometown Opportunity.
Marking the third year for the event, there were 15 local companies and two adult training/education organizations who gathered to meet with seniors intending to directly enter the workforce upon graduation. The meetings showcased local companies and their employment opportunities, as well as practical career guidance.
