What makes the Toledo Region a great place to build a career and a life?

In the first episode of On the Job: Toledo Region, host Sara Swisher talks with Wendy Gramza about the opportunities available across Northwest Ohio and what local employers need from today’s workforce.

BUILDING A CAREER CLOSE TO HOME

The Toledo Region offers career opportunities in advanced manufacturing, transportation and logistics, healthcare, education, childcare and the skilled trades.

Wendy explains why the region’s affordability, quality of life and variety of employers make it possible to build a meaningful career without leaving Northwest Ohio.

WHAT EMPLOYERS ARE LOOKING FOR

Technical knowledge is valuable, but employers are also looking for people who can communicate, solve problems, work with others and respond well to feedback.

Wendy discusses the importance of these durable skills and explains why education, training and workplace experience can all contribute to long-term career growth.

THERE IS NO SINGLE RIGHT PATH

A four-year degree may be the right choice for one person, while an apprenticeship, credential or technical program may be a better fit for someone else.

The goal is to find the pathway that matches your interests, abilities and career goals.
