Business Hosts Wanted: Middle School Career Tours

One of the ways to encourage young people growing up in the Chippewa Valley to stay here and begin their careers is to give them an opportunity to see those jobs in action right here in the area.

The Chamber has upcoming opportunities for employers to host groups of up to 20 Middle School students at a time for brief tour experiences. This complements the Academic and Career Planning curricula being taught in local schools, and provides a chance for local employers to give them a taste of the kinds of jobs available right here. The next set of tours are being planned for the afternoon of November 21 for students from South Middle School in Eau Claire.

If you’re an employer and would like to learn more about hosting one of these tour experiences, contact Danielle Kummer at the Chamber: kummer@eauclairechamber.org
