Facility Project
A strong community grows out of a strong workforce.
And a strong workforce begins with the right education.
For any community, technical education is essential as it supplies the interns, apprentices, and full-time employees needed to alleviate community labor shortages and help the local economy grow stronger. For Springfield, Ohio, this is doubly true, as 12.7% of our local area employment is made up of production jobs compared to the national average of 5.8%* In addition, individuals working in Springfield's healthcare and technical sectors earn, on average, $42.10 per hour—a whopping $16.94 more than the city's mean hourly wage of $25.16.
Those numbers alone are good reason to invest in the Facility Project for Springfield Clark Career Technology Center (CTC). By raising enough money from a November tax levy to build a new facility on CTC's existing property, CTC will be able to equip more students for either post-secondary learning or direct entry into high-demand, community-supporting careers immediately after graduation.
