K-12 CAREER PREPARATION PROGRAM

Support through preparation and leadership

Academic excellence and career preparation are a key focus for the Employer Education & Training Connection (EETC) at the Genesee Regional Chamber of Commerce. To achieve these goals the Regional Chamber is promoting the Career Preparation Program, a free in-school training initiative that provides enhancement and enrichment workshops for students K-12. The workshops are designed by the Regional Chamber to not only help prepare students, but inform and reinforce the importance of considering their options for employment as they move through high school.

As part of overall career preparation, prior to high school graduation students are required to establish an Educational Development Plan (EDP) through their local schools.  The Regional Chamber’s initiative supports the EDP, assisting students through workshop experiences developed to help connect the importance of what they are learning in the classroom to the expectations of the workplace.

The Career Preparation Program works in partnership with Genesee County K-12 schools, the Genesee Intermediate School District, and other educational institutions.

Employer Involvement Encouraged

This Career Preparation Program is a great opportunity for employers to share their professional knowledge and experience with students.

Employers interested in volunteering in any of these activities, or for more information, contact Rhetta Hunyady at 810.600.1412 or email rhunyady@thegrcc.org.
