Learning Grove’s NaviGo College & Career Prep keeps career connections strong year-’round


Learning Grove’s NaviGo College & Career Prep keeps career connections strong outside of school year with summer camps.

NaviGo held a series of free camps throughout the month of June to expose high school students to high-demand careers and employers. The camps drew students from 30 different high schools throughout Northern Kentucky and as far south as Carroll County/Pendleton County, along with students from Elder, Turpin, and Withrow in Cincinnati.

Key highlights from the summer:

• Gateway Technical & Community College joined us again to increase our camp offerings from 2 to 11 opportunities, with nearly 160 students participating. New this year were camps exploring careers in biological sciences, computer information technology, computerized manufacturing and machining, education, manufacturing and engineering technology, and welding.

• More than 60 students registered for our two skilled trades camps, hosted by Enzweiler Building Institute.

• Sponsor Duke Energy also offered a one-day Leadership & Energy Careers Camp for young women, with nearly 20 students participating.
