EDUCATION UPDATE


As the school year has begun, we have already engaged with students at two schools through the VenangoREADY program. We value our connections with educators and students. Please contact us if you are interested in participating.

Elevate Your Business and Inspire Future Talent with Our Job Shadow Guide!

At the Chamber, our mission is to provide valuable resources to local schools, aiding students and educators in meeting state requirements with meaningful career experiences. Many students are required or even just interested in job shadowing, and we’re here to help them connect with potential employers.

Get your business noticed by being featured in our Job Shadow Resource Guide, which we’ll share with all local schools—it’s a fantastic opportunity to make those vital connections happen!

Participation in the Venango Area Chamber of Commerce Job Shadow Guide offers a great opportunity for local businesses. By offering students a glimpse into your industry, you can inspire the next generation and help them explore career opportunities within their community. Engaging with students through job shadowing not only addresses future workforce needs but also enhances your reputation as an employer of choice.

Moreover, it demonstrates your dedication to the community’s economic growth by bridging the gap between education and business. Being part of this guide positions your company as a forward-thinking and supportive local employer, attracting motivated young talent while contributing to the region’s development.
