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 morning of March 20 for students from DeLong Middle School in Eau Claire.

If you’re an employer interested in participating in hosting one of these tour experiences, contact Scott Rogers, the Chamber’s Governmental Affairs & Workforce Director at rogers@eauclairechamber.org
