CONTRIBUTIONS
For high school students growing up in the Mid-Ohio Valley, post graduation opportunities can be pretty hard to find. The area's best jobs are typically in the fields of medicine, chemical engineering, and finance, but as we know, not all students are created equal, nor do share they share the same interests.
Today's youngsters are engulfed in technology. With each passing moment, more and more of their regular routines become reliant on the use of electronic devices, and their need to stay connected.
Visual Communications, Gaming, Social Media, Broadcast Journalism...
The technology constantly evolves, and the demand for industry professionals constantly grows.
With programs such as The Ohio University - E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, right here in our backyard, there is no time like to present to offer local high schools students hands-on experience designed to provide them with a head start at the next level.
Since 2016, The MOV2GO Network has been providing educational opportunities to high school students from Southeastern Ohio, and Western West Virginia... Students who represent the absolute best of our community. Academic Achievers, Athletic Standouts, Eagle Scouts, and Community Leaders... Students who would not have received this opportunity if not for the generous contributions from local small business owners, and individuals who support the mission of MOV2GO.
