Workforce Development Education
The Chamber hosts a variety of roundtables, seminars and an annual conference (called WorkTrends) that focus on helping businesses address their workforce development needs and issues. Please see our event calendar for upcoming events.

Career Fair
Each spring the Chamber co-produces a county-wide career fair which introduces area employers to their future workforce (high school students from throughout the area). Over 2000 students and 79 employers participated in the 2005 fair. Employers exhibit at the fair and conduct mock interviews.

School-to-Work Programs
Area businesses are encouraged to support the educational community and participate in career enrichment programs. The Chamber is actively seeking those businesses that are interested in providing job shadows, provide site visits or speak at educational institutions throughout the area.

An Education Committee works to promote and expand business and education partnership opportunities, promotes dialogue on issues impacting education and advocates for financial stability for school.

For more information about any of the programs listed above please contact the Chamber's Director of Business Assistance for more information.
