Boomerang
About
Boomerang is a career exploration event designed to attract local talent back to the area after pursuing further education. The event enables students to explore career possibilities within Northwest Ottawa County by connecting directly with local employers.
For businesses, Boomerang is a strategic opportunity to build early relationships with future talent, strengthen their employer brand, and influence career decisions before students leave the region. By showcasing real career pathways, growth opportunities, and workplace culture, local employers help demonstrate that meaningful, long‑term careers exist close to home—supporting workforce sustainability and regional economic growth.
Local businesses are invited to showcase their career opportunities to students from several area high schools and play an active role in developing the area’s future workforce.
