COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Five graduating seniors in Logan County are getting a boost as they get ready to launch their careers.

The Logan County Collaborative presented five $1,000 grants to each student.

All of them have committed to begin their careers with local businesses in the fields of construction, skilled trades, manufacturing, or health care.

The grants are a first for the Logan County Collaborative — a business advisory committee that brings teachers, community leaders, and business leaders together to strategize how to best prepare workers for jobs in their communities.
